The I-Kiribati can be proud of their country as it has been voted Best Country in the World last night (Monday December, 9) during the annual WCA ceremony. The I-Kiribati people were also voted Nicest people on the planet.
More than a hundred prizes have been awarded during the 2024 World Countries Awards, the most prestigious international award ceremony in the world. A night to remember for the people of Kiribati as they swept nearly all the awards available.
Historic Win For Kiribati
The I-Kiribati team could hardly hide its excitement as the celebrations went on. “Are we surprised? Not really”, I-Kiribati Team leader told the journalist, speaking just after receiving the award for Most Humble People In The World.
It turns out that due to a tiny logistical concern, only votes from the I-Kiribati judges has been counted. However, I-Kiribati organizers emphasized that the issue could not have had any impact on the final outcome.

Once again this year, the WCA ceremony was a great success, except for a minor incident when a massive fight broke out between I-Kiribati teammates as they could not agree on who was to pick up the award for Friendliest, Kindest and Most Civilised people on Earth.
