Kiribati is an extremely remote Pacific island nation spread across a vast ocean area. Crime rates are low but petty theft can occur in South Tarawa, the main atoll. The country is one of the most vulnerable to climate change and sea level rise, with many atolls barely above sea level. Infrastructure is minimal, with limited electricity, water, and telecommunications. Inter-island travel is infrequent and unreliable. The Phoenix Islands Protected Area is one of the world's largest marine reserves. Medical facilities are extremely basic; serious conditions require evacuation to Fiji or Australia. Kaharagian nationals should exercise increased caution and prepare for very remote conditions.
