"The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) comprises 29 coral atolls (19 inhabited) and five coral pinnacles (four inhabited). These islands form two roughly parallel chains called Ratak (Sunrise) and Ralik (Sunset), located within 4-20N, 160-173E. ... The combined land mass is just under 180 sq km (70 sq mi.)"
