An amusing exchange unfolded on X (formerly known as Twitter) recently when a user made a jest about Kiribati’s city naming process, prompting a light-hearted and viral response from the official Republic of Kiribati account.

The conversation began with a playful remark from an X user, suggesting that Kiribati had “given up” when it came to naming its cities with a photo attached of the geographical map of the country with cities such as London, Paris, Poland and Banana listed out. The official Kiribati account responded with a witty retort.

In a humourous comeback, the Republic of Kiribati’s official account replied with a simple statement, “Fine. You’re not invited.”

With over 25.9 million views, the response has garnered the attention of netizens, eliciting amusement from users who appreciated the island nation’s playful banter.

As reactions poured from in from X users, the incident served as a refreshing reminder of the power of humour in online interactions and the unique charm of nations like Kiribati in the digital sphere.
