The Marshall Islands, officially the Republic of the Marshall Islands, is an archipelagic country in Oceania. The sovereign state lies west of the International Date Line and north of the equator in the Micronesia region of the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. The islands consist of 29 coral atolls, five main islands, and 1,220 other very small ones, divided across two island chains: Ratak in the east and Ralik in the west. Its capital and largest city is Majuro, home to approximately half of the country's population, and 98.47% of its territory is lagoon waters, the largest proportion of water to land of any sovereign state. One of only four atoll-based nations along with Kiribati, The Maldives, and Tuvalu, the country shares maritime boundaries with Wake Island to the north, Kiribati to the southeast, Nauru to the south, and the Federated States of Micronesia to the west. The Marshall Islands has one of the world’s highest rates of diabetes. In Ebeye, the country's second most populated island, over 33% of residents have the disease.
