 The island nation of I-Kiribati is made up of 32 atolls and Christmas Island (population estimated at 100,000)
 Geographically Kiribati is the size of the United States (5,000,000 square kilometers of ocean)
But, the total land mass is only 313 square miles (811 square km)

The length of the island chain is about 30 miles -

They lived in  the apartment in which we currently reside.  
When we go in the bathroom at night we turn on the light to check things out first
