Fiji

Fiji is located in the South Pacific Ocean about two-thirds of the way from Hawaii to New Zealand, in the area of the world they call Oceania. Fiji consists of 332 islands, which 110 are inhabited. If you were to compare it to something in the U.S. It would be slightly smaller than the state of New Jersey. Officially known as the Sovereign Democratic Republic of the Fiji Islands. The Fiji Islands are an independent nation consisting of an archipelago surrounding the Koro Sea.

The Fiji Islands are largely the product of volcanoes, sedimentary deposits and formations of coral. Viti Lever, the largest island, has an area of about 10,429 square kilometers and accounts for more than half of the Fiji’s land. There is a Mountain range by the name of Nakauvadia, that runs North and South. The highest peak being that of Mount Tomanivi which is 4,341 feet and was formerly called Mount Victoria. The main river systems the Rewa, Nauva, Sigatoka, and Ba all have their source in the central Mountain area.

Fiji enjoys a tropical South sea maritime climate without great extremes of temperatures. At the capital Suva, the average summer high is 29 degrees C, and the winter low is 20 degrees C. The islands


My general impression of Fiji seems to be a good one. I think it would be a nice place to visit on a vacation, and like the U.S. gets a lot of money through tourism. I have read about various cruises and resorts that make Fiji a place to want to visit on a vacation. Fiji does not have many factories so unlike the U.S. pollution does not seem to be a big problem for Fiji. Fiji is a much more poverty stricken area than the U.S., but the demand in Fiji is a lot less. You do not see the million dollar homes, and money as a big object in Fiji. Although Fiji is a small country, their political system appears to be doing well, and are not having political problems like a lot of small countries in the world. All of the birth, death and unemployment rates are all pretty much equally based with the two countries. So all in all I feel that Fiji is a beautiful country, that I did not even know about, until I began this project.

Fiji became an independent nation on October 14, 1970 from the United Kingdom, and celebrate their Independence on the second Monday of October. Fiji was declared a Republic on October 6, 1987 by Military Coup leader Maj. Gen. Sitiveni Rabuka. IN their Republic there is an Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branch. In the government there is a Chief of State, which Ratu Jusefa Iloilovatu Ulviuvda was elected to in 2000, vice president Jope Seniloli, Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase, a Deputy Prime Minister, and a cabinet that is appointed by the Prime Minister.

As of July 2002 the total population of Fiji was 856,346 with 46.4% residing in urban areas with the remaining 53.6% in rural areas. Fiji has a relatively young population with about 55% below the age of 25 years of age. When you look at Fiji compared to one of its neighbors Australia, with a population of 19,546,792 you can see that Fiji is not very big at
