    Abstract:
    Tonga is described, an archipelago directly south of Western Samoa. Included in the document are brief descriptions about such points as geography, people, history, type of government, political conditions, economy, foreign relations, defense, and US-Tongan relations. In 1987 the population was 98,689; the annual growth rate was 0.76%. The infant mortality rate is 40/1000; the life expectancy, 59 years. Tonga is free from most tropical diseases, including malaria. The capital, Nuku'alofa, has a modern hospital, but doctors often are in short supply.
