About Samoa
Samoa is an independent island nation in the southern Pacific Ocean, comprising two main islands — Upolu and Savai'i — along with several smaller islands. The capital, Apia, is located on Upolu. Formerly known as Western Samoa, it became the first Polynesian nation to gain independence in 1962. The country has a population of around 220,000 and is known for its traditional fa'a Samoa culture, tropical rainforests, waterfalls, and coral reefs. Its economy relies primarily on agriculture, remittances from abroad, and tourism.
