mis oli teel Enderbury saarelt McKeani saarele. 10. juuli 1889 kuulutas Suurbritannia selle oma protektoraadiks, ning saarel heisati Briti lipp. Kavas oli saar koloniseerida, kuid selleni ei jutud. 19. sajandil ja 20. sajandil anti saare ekspluateerimise igused mitmele kontsernile, kuid majandustegevust ei alustatud. Aastal 1899 renditi see kompaniile Pacific Islands Company, Ltd. Aastal 1916 oli Birnie ks saartest, mis renditi 87 aastaks kapten Allenile (Samoan Shipping and Trading Company), hiljem vttis rendi le Burns Philp.

costume, belief systems, architecture, arts, craft, music, dance and sports. The indigenous culture is very much active and living, and is a part of everyday life for the majority of the population. However, it has evolved with the introduction of old cultures like the Indian and Chinese ones, as well as a large influence from Europe, and from various Pacific neighbors of Fiji, mainly the Tongan,Rotuman and Samoan. The culture of Fiji has created a unique communal and national identity. Politics of Fiji normally take place in the framework of a parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the Prime Minister of Fiji is the head of government, the President the head of state, and of a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Parliament of Fiji.
SISSEJUHATUS Okeaania asub Vaikses ookeanis ning koosneb paljudest väikestest ning madalatest osaliselt asustamata saartest, mida ähvardab kliimamuutustest tulenev meretaseme tõus. Okeaania riike võiks lugeda uuteks riikideks, sest nad on iseseisvunud alles 20. sajandi keskpaigas ja paljud neist on tänini oma kunagiste emamaade sõltlased. Kaugemas minevikus valitsesid neid aga pärismaalaste hõimud ja kunagiste hõimupealikke võim säilis tihti ka kolonistide valitsemise ajal (emamaad kogusid pärismaalastelt makse ja tooraineid, kuid hõimupealikel oli siiski ka oma rahva üle kontroll ja võim). Antud referaadis tahan anda ülevaate iseseisvate Okeaania riikide tekkest, nende ajaloost ning riigisüsteemidest. Okeaaniasse kuuluvad iseseisvad riigid valisin Eesti Entsüklopeedia 15. köite järgi vältimaks arusaamatusi (erinevad allikad annavad erineva andmeid riikide Okeaaniasse kuulumise ja iseseisvuse kohta). Selle järgi on Okeaanias asuvad su...

" "Rachel and Rebecca," I suddenly recalled. Charlie and Billy had thrown us together a lot during my visits, to keep us busy while they fished. We were all too shy to make much progress as friends. Of course, I'd kicked up enough tantrums to end the fishing trips by the time I was eleven. "Are they here?" I examined the girls at the ocean's edge, wondering if I would recognize them now. "No." Jacob shook his head. "Rachel got a scholarship to Washington State, and Rebecca married a Samoan surfer -- she lives in Hawaii now." "Married. Wow." I was stunned. The twins were only a little over a year older than I was. "So how do you like the truck?" he asked. "I love it. It runs great." "Yeah, but it's really slow," he laughed. "I was so relived when Charlie bought it. My dad wouldn't let me work on building another car when we had a perfectly good vehicle right there." "It's not that slow," I objected. "Have you tried to go over sixty?" "No," I admitted. "Good. Don't." He grinned.
