Fiji
is ideally located in the tropics of the southern hemisphere. It
lies on the 180 Meridian where the dawning of each new day occurs.
Over 300 islands make the Fiji group of islands with a total land area
of just 18,272 square meters. Of those islands, only 150 or so islands
are inhabited by humans and the rest are left as nature reserves.
The two major islands in the group are known as Viti Levu and Vanua
Levu. Almost 80 percent of the population live on these two islands.
Still the majority of the population live in the rural areas and the outer
islands. Only about 40 percent of the population live in urban areas.
