At first I thought the news had made a big boo-boo, then I decided it might be just Google Earth, but no, it’s all of Google.  Yes, technically Kiritimati (Christmas Island) marked here is indeed part of the Independent and Sovereign Republic of Kiribati and even makes up 70% of its land mass, but it is also 3,300 km away from the capital and on the extreme eastern edge of the territory.  Not exactly central.
