Subdivisions of Kiribati

In Kiribati, there are no longer official administrative divisions but it is possible to divide Kiribati geographically into one isolated island and three archipelagos or island groups: Kiribati was divided into six districts before gaining independence: Four of the former districts (including Tarawa) lie in the Gilbert Islands, where 90% of the country's population lives.

Banaba itself is sparsely inhabited now (330 people in 2020).

There is also a representative non-elected of the Banabans relocated since 1945 to Rabi Island in the country of Fiji.

John Hilary Smith as the Governor, created the three councils of Tarawa, in 1972.
