Fiji is a South Pacific island nation consisting of over 350 islands and islets, of which approximately 100 are inhabited. Its capital is Suva. On December 5, 2006, in the fourth coup since 1987, the commander of Fiji’s military forces deposed the lawfully elected government of Fiji. The military established the current, unelected interim government. The interim government has ruled by decree since it abrogated the constitution in reaction to an April 10, 2009, high court ruling that declared the interim government illegal. Tourism is a major industry, with a full range of facilities available.
