This well-known vacation paradise official name is Republic of Fiji Islands. It is a tropical island country in the Pacific Ocean, comprising nine main islands and 330 islets, of which 100 are unpopulated. The two main islands are Viti Levu and Vanau Levu. Other important islands are Taveuni, Kadavu, Gau and Koro. The 88 percent of Fijian lands belong to the natives, the 4 percent to the state, and the remaining 6 percent for individuals. The most important river is the Rewa. Among the natural resources of Fiji we can find gold, copper, hydroelectric power, timber forests, and seas suitable for fishing. It is a country that counts with about 890,057 inhabitants. Its capital is called Suva, and the two official languages are English and Fijian. Something very peculiar is how the inhabitants of these islands welcome visitors with their traditional dance called meke, which adopts local stories and legends.

Most of the Fiji islands where formed by volcanoes. Many islets are piles of sand on top of coral reefs. However, the bigger islands have high volcanic peaks, rolling hills, rivers, and grasslands. More than half of the total area of Fiji is covered by rainforests. Fiji has a very pleasant climate, temperatures range from 60F to 90F. Between November and April, heavy rains and tropical storms are frequent. Something I found very interesting is that Fiji’s economy is based primarily on agriculture. Sugar, coconut products, and gold account for about three-fourths of Fiji’s exports. They also export timber. Another major economic activity is tourism, which also offers employment. The language used in schools in English. The law doesn’t require children to go to school. However, more than 85 percent of children attending schools. On the other hand, Fiji only has one University, The University of South Pacific in Suva.

Fiji's ethnic composition consists of 48.4 percent of Fijians and 46.4 percent of natives. Autochthonous Fijians are mostly Christianized. Among the religions practiced are the Methodists (52.9%), Hindus (38.1%) and how Muslims (7.8%). The political system is a Parliamentary Republic. About half of the current population is of Hindustani, a descendant of the workforce fetched by the end of the nineteenth century of the former British India to work the sugar cane plantations. A percentage, now slightly larger, corresponds to Fijians, who are the indigenous Melanesian people, and the rest is divided among people wholly or partly European, other Pacific islanders different from Fijians and Chinese.
