What Continent is Tonga in?

What country does Tonga belong to?

The Kingdom of Tonga, also called “islands of friends”, because of the cordial character of its inhabitants upon the arrival of the first explorers, is an island state of Polynesia, in the South Pacific Ocean between Samoa and Fiji.

The country has an area of only 748 km2 and its population lives on only 53 of the 173 islands that make up it.

Its capital is Nuku’alofa, which in turn is the capital of the kingdom’s largest island, Tongatapu.

Since the government is governed by a constitutional monarchy, the capital offers the opportunity to admire the royal palace, located on the seafront, right in the center of the agglomeration.

Built in 1867 in New Zealand in pure Victorian style and then transported to the island, the royal palace however is not open to the public, but is itself easily visible from the outside.
