Fiji Overview
Fiji, a state in the southwestern Pacific Ocean that includes the Fiji Islands and Rotuma Island. Of the roughly 844 volcanic and coral islands, only 110 are inhabited. About 61% of the population are native Fijians (Melanesians), 32% Indians (formerly brought into the country by the British as sugar cane workers). Sugar cane, bananas, pineapples, coconut oil and gold are the main export goods. The most important source of foreign exchange, however, is tourism.
History: Discovered in 1643, the islands became a British crown colony in 1874. In 1970 they were given independence as a parliamentary monarchy under the Commonwealth. In 1987, after a military coup, the republic was proclaimed.

On the south-east side of the islands there is a long-term average precipitation of over 3,000 mm (rainforest with valuable wood) in the windward direction from warm, humid trade winds, the leeward sides (annual average precipitation 1,500 mm) are mostly covered with savannah and grassland (cattle breeding). Lower areas are mostly cultivated; they only have a few sparse forests on deeply weathered, humus-rich soils that are suitable for tropical agriculture (sugar cane, pineapple, coconut palms).
