advice on site navigation?

Please take a look at my code pen below:

http://codepen.io/tbeckett24/pen/LEbOze

My question is with the navigation. I want the navigation to be completely centered.

If my wrapper is 1200px and all margin and padding is removed , and i have six navigation parts why cant i set each width to 200px and keep them on the same line.

What is yellow space between each ul li. I have all margin and padding removed?

Any help would be appreciated as these are the little things I'd like to understand completely so I can master css. My aim is to get the whole nav centered with even spaces in every ul li

Hi, troy beckett. I think you need to add 

li {
 float: left;
}

Hi Troy,

Check this CSS

.wrapper {

margin: 0 auto; background: pink; }

h1{ text-align: center; }

ul li a { text-decoration: none; color: black; }

ul li { list-style: none; }

.nav-wrapper {

max-width:100%; background: yellow;

}

ul li { display: inline-block; width: 205px; background: green; text-align: center; }
