Samoa, [note 1] officially the Independent State of Samoa [note 2] and known until 1997 as Western Samoa (Samoan: Sāmoa i Sisifo), is an island country in Polynesia, consisting of two main islands (Savai'i and Upolu); two smaller, inhabited islands (Manono and Apolima); and several smaller, uninhabited islands, including the Aleipata Islands (Nuʻutele, Nuʻulua, Fanuatapu and Namua).
The next largest island is Tutuila, where the city and harbor of Pago Pago (with a population of 3,519 in 1990) is located. Tutuila is much smaller than Upolu and Savai‘i, at 136.2 km 2 (52.6 sq mi) in area, but it is the largest island in American Samoa. [11] The highest point on Tutuila is Matafao Peak. [21]
Samoa is divided into eleven itūmālō (political districts), which were established well before the arrival of Europeans. Each district has its own constitutional foundation (faavae), rooted in the traditional order of title precedence as outlined in its faalupega (traditional salutations).
