The '''Kingdom of Tonga''' is the last remaining [[Polynesia]]n kingdom in the [[Pacific Ocean|South Pacific]]. It consists of an [[archipelago]] located directly south of [[Samoa]]. Its 171 [[island]]s, 48 of them inhabited, are divided into three main groups—Vava'u, Ha'apai, and Tongatapu—and cover an 800-kilometer (500 mi.)-long north-south line.<ref>http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/16092.htm</ref>

Its largest and most populated island, [[Tongatapu]], on which the capital city of Nuku'alofa is located, covers 257 square kilometers (99 sq. mi.). Geologically the Tongan islands are of two types: most have a limestone base formed from uplifted coral formations; others consist of limestone overlaying a volcanic base.

Its population is about 100,000, mostly [[Christian]] and almost entirely Tongan in ethnicity. Their literacy rate is nearly 100%. Thanks to missionary work, about a third of Tongans are [[Mormon]], making Tonga the place with the greatest concentration of Mormons outside [[Salt Lake City]].<ref>''Condensed Knowledge'', New York: Random House, 2008.</ref>

Its government is a Constitutional hereditary monarchy, based on a [[constitution]] drafted in 1875 and revised in 1970, when it obtained its independence from [[Britain]]. Its [[GDP]] is US$148.9 million, and its per capita GDP is US$1,287. Its major natural resource is [[fish]].

Its Constitution declares the [[Sabbath]] to be sacred forever, and businesses (including entertainment) close on Sunday each week.

Higher education includes teacher training, nursing and medical training, a small private [[university]], a women's business college, and a number of private agricultural schools.
