About

Samoa is an independent island nation in the South Pacific, consisting of nine volcanic islands and located roughly halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii. Its economy has historically been based on agriculture and fishing, but in recent years has expanded into tourism, offshore banking, and light manufacturing. The capital city, Apia, is situated on Upolu Island, which is also the hub of government and commerce.
