The capital and hub of the Republic of Kiribati is South Tarawa, home to approximately half of Kiribati's population. The South Tarawa population centre consists of all the small islets from Betio in the west to Bonriki and Tanaea in the east, connected by the South Tarawa main road, with a population of 50,182 as of 2010. It is home to most of the government, commercial and education facilities including the House of Assembly (Maneaba ni Maungatabu) in Ambo. From 1979 to most of 2000 the seat of government was situated in Bairiki. The administrative headquarters were relocated to their current location soon after construction on the new building was finished in October 2000. This new House of Assembly was built by a Japanese company.
