Hello, can you tell me about Kiribati? 
 It is a country located in the Pacific Ocean near the equator. 
 I'd like to know abouts it history please. 
 Sure. In 1999, Kiribati gained United Nations membership. 
 That is interesting. I want to know more about its history. 
 On July 12, 1979, the Gilbert Islands gained independence as the Republic of Kiribati. 
 Thank you for that information. What about its politics? 
 Did you know that where most of the country's population lives is where four of the former districts including Tarawa lie in the Gilbert Islands. 
 I did not know that. I'd like to hear more about this please. 
 Sure. Similar to town meetings in colonial America, Local affairs are handed in a similar.manner. 
 I have learned so much. Thank you for providing me with all this information. 
 My pleasure.
