Where is Western Samoa

Westsamoa was taken by New Zealand at the beginning of the First World War. The most manifestations of Saoanism were in the Mau movements of the 1920', which were eventually oppressed by force. Approximately 10 percent of the total populace is Matae. As an agrarian sector with a reserved, relaxed tourist trade, Western Samoa relies on money transfers from Samoans abroad and help for 70 percent of its currency reserve - which corresponds to a sound import coverage of 10 month.

It' through the exports of its own population, often the most gifted and well-trained that the nation has outlived its 2. 3 percent per year population. Torn Prime Minister Tofilau Eti was one of the first international leader to come to China after the Tiananmen Square shooting in 1989, and was awarded a $12 million subsidy for a new administration facility as expected.

Samoa's transition to more democratic forms an important counterpoint to the return to tribal, hierarchic structure in near Fiji, which foment Samoa's long-held feeling of being culturally superior to its neighbor. Malawi's economies are founded on the country's main industries and on remittance driven import. Total 1988 was $17 million in total exported, mainly from coke, coppra, bananas, wood and tarot, while the total was $90 million.

The lightweight industry replaces some domestic import. Samoans see their island as the center of Polynesia's mighty, hierarchic cultur. Samoan Way stays alive, even among the hundred thousand Samoans now scattered abroad; the aga, or large familys, remain the crucial unity.
