Introduction:

Fiji, an archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean, is a nation of over 330 islands, of which about 110 are permanently inhabited. Renowned for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs, Fiji is a renowned tourist destination.

The country's history is a rich tapestry of indigenous Polynesian and Melanesian cultures, European influence, and colonial rule. Fiji gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1970 and is now a parliamentary republic within the Commonwealth of Nations. It boasts a diverse population, with ethnic Fijians and Indo-Fijians constituting the majority.

Fiji's economy is primarily driven by tourism, which accounts for about 40% of GDP. Sugarcane is the country's principal agricultural export, and gold mining also plays a significant role. Fiji is a member of the Pacific Islands Forum, the World Trade Organization, and the United Nations.
