Samoa

Samoa, officially the Independent State of Samoa, is a country comprising a group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean.

The entire group was known as Navigators Islands before the 20th century because of the Samoans' seafaring skills. Apia is the capital of Samoa. It is part of the Tuamasaga district. The city is located on the northern coast of Upolu Island. It is the nation's major port and only city. Fish and copra are the country's major exports, and cotton goods, motor vehicles, meats, and sugar are the major imports. Country Code: 685
