Since the Earth is a sphere, there is no real first place. Each country, continent, and island has an easternmost point where the sunrise appears first. _______________ However, if you are thinking of the current definition and location of the International Date Line, and you accept a rather eccentric relocation of it, then every new day (as in calendar date) begins at Caroline Island, the easternmost point of the island nation of Kiribati. [Not to be confused with the Caroline Islands.] There is no international law governing the placement of the IDL; governments in the area are free to relocate the line to keep all of a nation's territory on one side. Kiribati moved the line to the east.
