whats the first country in the world?

Question

as in where does the sun rise 1st??

Answer 1

Caroline Island

my memory stil fresh from where Y2K came to first. hehehehehe

Answer 2

Many people here have proposed Greenwich as the first place to see the sun because it's located on the prime meridian. But longitude has nothing to do with when the date is separated. The true date divider is the International Date Line, which passes through the Pacific Ocean and only crosses very sparsely populated landmasses, such as Antarctica. So the question you should be asking is, "What is the country that has land that is farthest to the east while still being west of the International Date Line?" The answer, as some have already stated, is the Republic of Kiribati, and island nation, of which one island is Caroline Island, recently renamed Millenium Island, as it was the first inhabited landmass to enter into the year 2000.

Answer 3

Greenwich, London, England.

Knowing that the earth doesn't actually have a start or a finish, Greenwitch is universally accepted as where longitude equals zero degrees. So, this can be considered as the 'start' of the Earths rotation and therefore, the first place in the world where the sun rises.

Answer 4

Don't listen to that guy before me, Japan is the land of the rising sun (it's on their flag for god's sake..), because it's east of China. But the sun is rising somewhere at all times.

The sun rises first in Caroline Island, owned by the Republic of Kiribati.
