Where is Fiji?

Fiji is a country in the South Pacific Ocean West of Australia. Officially its called the Republic of the Fiji Islands. The population of Fiji mostly consists of Melanesians which populate a region of Oceania. Some of the Melanesians in Fiji have Polynesian roots. The other large portion of the population of fiji contains Indo-Fijians. They are decendants of contract laborers brought from India to Fiji by the British. A little over 1 percent of the population consists of Rotumans who are from the Island of Rotuma which is part of the Republic of Fiji Islands. However their culture more closely represents that of Samoa or Tonga

Sneak Peak of Fiji

This video is a peak into what Fiji has. Beautiful views, nice clear waters, lots of greenery. Its beauty is beyond compare. What doesn't make sense to me is how native islanders want to move overseas when Fiji is such a beautiful place to live. The Fijian Government should encourage growth.
