> SAMOA
>
> Western Samoa is situated at 13 deg 45'South and 172 deg 20'West in the
> South Pacific about 4200 km southwest of Hawaii and 3000 km northeast of
> New Zealand. 130 km to the East there is American Samoa with its capital
> Pago Pago.
>
> The country itself consists of the two main islands Savaii in the northwest
> and Upolu with the capital Apia in the southeast, the smaller islands Manono
> and Apolima and five more uninhabitated tiny islands. Visitors from Western
> countries may think they are in paradise. Luxuriant tropical forests,
> mountains up to 1859m high (Matavanu) and small inlets with white sandy
> beaches determine the countryside. Additionally you will find the special
> Samoan way of life "Fa'a Samoa" which is determined by the typical life
> within the families and villages. The Samoans live in "fales" which are
> traditional huts with no walls and a thatched roof. Only in the capital
> Apia life is a little different. Besides of that Samoa also seems to be
> home of the tattoos...
>
> Samoa was populated by Polynesians about 1000 B.C. As time went by the
> typical Samoan form of government by tribal chiefs was established. A
> legendary chief was "Salamsina" she ruled in the 15th century for 60 years.
> In the 18th century Samoa was first sighted by Dutch and French sailors but
> not visited. Only in 1830 the English 'Messenger of Peace' with Reverent
> John Williams landed on the islands followed by some merchants. The German
> merchant Johann Godeffroy founded a business establishment in Apia in 1856
> and very soon the city was the largest trading centre in the Pacific. The
> last German governor left the island on August 29, 1914 and New Zealand took
> over the administration. Western Samoa is an independent country since 1962
> and a republic within the Commonwealth. The head of state is HM Malietoa
> Tanumafili II. Two other specific fatures of the islands are that they have
> no Army and only very little police. Furthermore Western Samoa is the only
> country under British influence with the traffic on the right side!
