The pacific nation of Kiribati has a population of 115,372 (2023 est.) The government of Kiribati on Wednesday said it was not responsible for a light-hearted social media smackdown that went viral, prompting laughs around the world. "I think Kiribati just gave up when it came time to name cities," user @VoxDocVoxDei posted, next to a map of Kiritimati Island. The post has been viewed 27 million times and was liked by almost half a million users. But despite claiming to be from "The Official Account for the Republic of Kiribati", sadly the account is not legit.
