Samoa is a group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean to the east of Australia, almost halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii. The capital city is Apia. Its currency is the Samoa Dollar (Tala). Samoan and English are its languages. A parliamentary republic, it enjoys a democracy which is modified to take into account Samoan customs. The economy is reliant on agricultural exports and tourism. Samoa means “Sacred centre of the Universe”.
