Fiji, Island nation in South Pacific Ocean.
The archipelago contains 330 islands spread across the Pacific Ocean, with Viti Levu and Vanua Levu being the most populated islands.
British colonization of Fiji began in 1874 and lasted until October 1970, when the country gained independence and established its own government.
The traditional Fijian social structure remains organized around chiefs who guide community decisions and maintain strong connections with ancestral customs.
Tourism, sugar production, and textile manufacturing form the economic foundation of Fiji, while subsistence agriculture supports many local communities.
The nation holds extensive coral reefs within the Coral Triangle, creating underwater environments that support more than 1500 fish species.
