Fiji lies wholly in the southern tropics, that is, between the equator and the tropic of Capricorn.
Fiji's closest neighbour to the east is Tonga and to the west Vanuatu (formerly the New Hebrides).
The territorial waters of Fiji are defined in the deed of cession as all that area 'lying between the parallels of latitude of 15 degrees south and 22 degrees south of the equator, and between the meridians of longitude of 177 degrees west and 175 degrees east of the meridian of Greenwich'.
The Republic of the Fiji Islands occupies an archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean, east of Vanuatu, west of Tonga and south of Tuvalu.
The first inhabitants of Fiji arrived from South East Asia[?] long before the islands were discovered by European explorers in the 17th century.
Fiji, endowed with forest, mineral, and fish resources, is one of the most developed of the Pacific island economies, though still with a large subsistence sector.
