* [[Line Islands]]

Four of the former districts (including Tarawa) lie in the Gilbert Islands, where most of the country's population lives. Five of the Line Islands are uninhabited ([[Malden Island]], [[Starbuck Island]], [[MilleniumMillennium Island]], [[Vostok Island]] and [[Flint Island]]). The Phoenix Islands are uninhabited except for [[Kanton Island|Kanton]], and have no representation. Banaba itself is sparsely inhabited now. There is also a non-elected representative of the Banabans on [[Rabi Island]] in Fiji.<ref>{{Cite web |last=McAdam |first=Jane |title=How a small Pacific community sparked constitutional innovation on citizenship |url=https://www.kaldorcentre.unsw.edu.au/news/how-small-pacific-community-sparked-70-years-constitutional-innovation-citizenship |access-date=2023-11-13 |website=www.kaldorcentre.unsw.edu.au}}</ref>

Each of the 21 inhabited islands<ref name=CIA/> has its own local council that takes care of daily affairs. There is one council for each inhabited island, with two exceptions: Tarawa Atoll has three councils: [[Betio]] Town Council, {{ill|Teinainano Urban Council|it}} (TUC) (for the rest of [[South Tarawa]]) and Eutan Tarawa Council (ETC) (for [[North Tarawa]]); and [[Tabiteuea]] has two councils.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kiribati |url=https://dlab.epfl.ch/wikispeedia/wpcd/wp/k/Kiribati.htm |access-date=2024-05-29 |website=dlab.epfl.ch}}</ref>
