[15]
is an
island country
in
Melanesia
, part of
Oceania
in the
South Pacific Ocean
about 1,100
nautical miles
(2,000
km
; 1,300
mi
) northeast of
New Zealand
's
North Island
. Its closest neighbours are
Vanuatu
to the west,
New Caledonia
to the southwest,
New Zealand
's
Kermadec Islands
to the southeast,
Tonga
to the east, the
Samoas
and
France
's
Wallis and Futuna
to the northeast, and
Tuvalu
to the north. It has an
archipelago
of more than 330 islands—of which 110 are permanently inhabited—and more than 500
islets
, amounting to a total land area of about 18,300 square kilometres (7,100 sq mi). The farthest island is
Ono-i-Lau
. The two major islands,
Viti Levu
and
Vanua Levu
, account for 87% of the total population of 898,760. The capital,
Suva
on Viti Levu, serves as Fiji's principal cruise port.
[16]
About three-quarters of Fijians live on Viti Levu's
coasts
, either in Suva or in smaller urban centres like
Nadi
(with tourism being the major industry)
[16]
or
Lautoka
(
sugar cane industry
). Viti Levu's interior is sparsely inhabited due to its terrain.

The Republic of the Fiji Islands occupies an archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean . Fiji became independent in 1970 , after nearly a century as a British colony. Democratic rule was interrupted by two military coups in 1987 , caused by concern over a government perceived as dominated by the Indian community (descendants of contract laborers brought to the islands by the British in the 19th century ). A 1990 constitution favored native Melanesian control of Fiji, but led to heavy Indian emigration; the population loss resulted in economic difficulties, but ensured that Melanesians became the majority. Amendments enacted in 1997 made the constitution more equitable. Free and peaceful elections in 1999 resulted in a government led by an Indo-Fijian. Fiji has been a major contributor to UN peacekeeping missions in various parts of the world. |
