Fiji is a group of volcanic islands in the South Pacific, lying about 4,450 km southwest of Honolulu and 1,770 km north of New Zealand. Viti Levu, the largest island, covers about 57 % of the nation's land area, hosts the two official cities (the capital Suva, and Lautoka) and most other major towns, such as Ba, Nasinu, and Nadi (the site of the international airport), and contains some 69 per cent of the population. Vanua Levu, 64 km to the north of Viti Levu, covers just over 30 % of the land area.
Both islands are mountainous, with peaks up to 1300 m rising abruptly from the shore, and covered with tropical forests. Heavy rains (up to 304 cm or 120 in annually) fall on the windward (southeastern) side, covering these sections of the islands with dense tropical forest. Lowlands on the western portions of each of the main islands are sheltered by the mountains and have a well-marked dry season favorable to crops such as sugarcane.
Other islands and island groups include Taveuni and Kadavu (the third and fourth largest islands respectively), the Mamanuca Group (just outside Nadi) and Yasawa Group (to the north of the Mamanucas), which are popular tourist destinations, the Lomaiviti Group, outside of Suva, and the remote Lau Group. The only major town on any of the smaller islands is Levuka, Fiji's old capital, on the island of Ovalau.
The population of Fiji is mostly made up of native Fijians, who are Melanesians, although a few also have Polynesian ancestry, and Indo-Fijians, descendants of Indian contract labourers brought to the islands by the British in the nineteenth century.
The national sport of Fiji is considered to be rugby union, however rugby league is also widely played. The national team is very successful given the size of the population of the country, and has competed at Rugby World Cups, the first being in 1987, where they reached the quarter-finals.
