Interesting Facts About Fiji

• Fiji is an archipelagic country consisting of more than 330 islands, of which only about 110 are permanently inhabited
• About 87% of Fiji's total population live on the two major islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu
• About three-quarters of Fijians live on Viti Levu's coasts, in cities such as Suva, Nadi, or Lautoka, while the island's interior is sparsely inhabited due to its terrain
• The interior highlands of Viti Levu were historically home to the Kai Colo people, who lived in large, well-protected caves in the mountain region
• Christianity was formally introduced to Fiji's highland clans in early 1875, with thousands of clan members meeting at Navuso to accept British rule and the new religion
