Fiji (Fijian: Matanitu ko Viti; Hindustānī: फ़िजी, فِجی), officially the Republic of the Fiji Islands, is an island nation in the South Pacific Ocean east of Vanuatu, west of Tonga and south of Tuvalu.
Fiji is currently experiencing a military coup d'état led by Commodore Josaia Voreqe (Frank) Bainimarama, who declared that he had "reluctantly" assumed the functions of the Presidency in an interim capacity on December 5, 2006.
The population of Fiji is mostly made up of native Fijians, a people of mixed Polynesian (partly Tongan) and Melanesian ancestry (54.3%), and Indo-Fijians (38.1%), descendants of Indian contract labourers brought to the islands by the British in the 19th century.
