Moon Handbooks: Tonga
Until recently Tonga and Samoa were well off the beaten track of South Pacific travel involving an expensive side trip from Fiji or New Zealand. Now with regular flights linking the islands directly to Auckland, Honolulu, and each other, travelers can easily include them in a longer Pacific routing or make Western Polynesia a whole trip in itself.

| CIA World Factbook Description of Tonga |
|
| Tonga - unique among Pacific nations - never completely lost its indigenous governance. The archipelagos of "The Friendly Islands" were united into a Polynesian kingdom in 1845. Tonga became a constitutional monarchy in 1875 and a British protectorate in 1900; it withdrew from the protectorate and joined the Commonwealth of Nations in 1970. Tonga remains the only monarchy in the Pacific. |
