Marshall Islands – Marshall Islands' capital is Majuro

(Pronounced mahr-shuhl islands and muh-joor-oh)

To remember the capital of Kiribati, use the following mnemonic:

The marshal of the islands (Marshall Islands) got into a fight with the major who (Majuro) clearly knew how to fight.

Interesting facts about Majuro:

- Lagoon Capital: Majuro sits on a massive, ring-shaped coral atoll enclosing a breathtaking 97-square-mile lagoon that serves as a natural harbour deep enough for international cargo ships.

- Sunken WWII Relics: Just off the shores of the atoll lie preserved underwater shipwrecks and aircraft from World War II battles, making the shallow lagoon a popular spot for marine exploration.

- Narrow Stripway: The capital is built on islets so narrow that in many places, a single main road is the only strip of dry land separating the open Pacific Ocean from the inner lagoon.
