About Fiji
Fiji is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean about 1,100 nautical miles 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.
Fiji is 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 majority of Fiji's islands were formed through volcanic activity.
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. About three-quarters of Fijians live on Viti Levu's coasts, either in Suva or in smaller urban centres like Nadi or Lautoka.
Fiji has one of the most developed economies in the Pacific due to an abundance of forest, mineral, and fish resources. Fiji's main industries are tourism and sugar exports.
The climate in Fiji is tropical marine and warm year round with minimal extremes. The warm season is from November to April and the cooler season lasts from May to October. Temperatures in the cool season still average 22 °C (72 °F). Nice!
The population of Fiji is mostly made up of native Fijians, who are Melanesians (54.3%), although many also have Polynesian ancestry, and Indo-Fijians (38.1%), descendants of Indian contract labourers brought to the islands by the British colonial powers in the 19th century.
The concept of family and community is of great importance to Fijian culture. Within the indigenous communities many members of the extended family will adopt particular titles and roles of direct guardians. Kinship is determined through a child's lineage to a particular spiritual leader, so that a clan is based on traditional customary ties as opposed to actual biological links.
Rugby Union is the most-popular team sport played in Fiji.
[Source: Wikipedia. Read more about these beautiful islands here.]
Fiji has 33 people groups and one of these is considered unreached with the good news of the gospel.
The largest religion is Christianity at 63% and of these, 24% profess to be evangelical. The next largest religions are: Hindu at 29%, and Islam at 5%.
