The political map of the world is constantly changing. As a result of the collapse federations or independence colonies appear new state. Some states disappear, preferring independent the status of state or autonomy within a strong neighbor. Kiribati – the first state that faces the threat of extinction is not due to political, and for natural reasons – it is slow goes under water and will soon share the sad glory of the disappeared Atlantis /esoreiter.ru/.

You can only call the republic of Kiribati a state with a large a stretch. The entire territory is 812.34 km. These are 33 atolls in the Pacific just east of Indonesia, of which 20 are uninhabited.

The cause of the death of the country is the planet’s climate change and increase sea level. Currently average elevation islands above sea level barely exceeds 2 m. Projected By 2100, scientists raise the sea level by 0.5-2 m. automatically sentenced country. President of the Republic For 10 years, Anote Tong has been preparing the population for the inevitable migration. Outreach and professional training of residents of the islands in the specialties demanded in modern world. But there is one more way. Construction company from Japan Simizi Corp. is developing a project for creating a floating city. The platform will have 3 km. in diameter and rise 1 height km (because of what the project got the name “City in the Clouds”) The planned population of the city is 30,000 people. Three platforms connected together, it will be able to accommodate the entire population of Kiribati. The total cost of the project is about 317 billion dollars. Clear, that Kiribati doesn’t have that kind of money. Tokyo is well aware of this, but working on a project, the Japanese are not counting on a dwarf republic. In the future, a further increase in world water levels (The year 2100 will not end) under the threat of flooding will be many solid island states and coastal countries. IN Blacklisted Maldives, Netherlands, UK, France, many other European states and the east coast of the USA. Yes and Japan itself, located on the islands, is one of the first places on this sad list. If 100,000 inhabitants of Kiribati can “dissolve” around the world relatively quietly, then “attach” let’s say 127 million of the same Japanese will be much more complicated. Neither one country will not stand (and therefore will not accept) such a quantity migrants. Therefore, while President Anote Tong calls from the UN rostrum (to no avail) to the help of the world community, practical Simizi Corp managers are looking for investments to negotiate with governments of states in the not-so-distant future the prospect of facing the problem of finding territories for their citizens. Man mastered the land. It’s time to explore the sea.
