The Independent State of Samoa is an archipelago of nine volcanic states in the Pacific Ocean. Its location is halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii, east of the international date line. This country has the second largest Polynesian population of about 190,000 people.
Samoa’s economy has traditionally depended on fishing and agriculture. More recently, tourism and the banking sector are contributing to the economy.
New Zealand administered Samoa until its independence in 1962. The government of Samoa is a republic. A legislative assembly (elected by popular vote) elects a chief of state to serve a 5-year term. The chief of state appoints a prime minister to be head of government, on approval by a legislative assembly.
Until 1965, Samoa officially discouraged the tourist industry. After that time, however, the Samoan government actively developed policies to encourage tourism. Visitors can enjoy beaches, traditional villages, and a relaxed pace of life.
