Tulsi Gabbard is a very popular US politician. She has made headlines several times in the recent past, because of her heated word exchange with former Democrat presidential candidate Hilary Clinton. Actually, it is not the reason why she is well known among the American people. She holds many feathers on her hat. She is a Hawaii Army National Guard Major. She serves as the US representative for the second Congressional district of Hawaii. Moreover, she is the first practicing Hindu to be elected to Congress.
The reason why she has gotten a place at the beginning of this travel article has nothing to do with anything that has been mentioned above.
It is this politician that has helped a tiny Island country in the Oceania region to gain more global attention in recent days. Ms. Tulsi is a Samoan-American. That lucky country which has won huge attention in the recent past because of Ms. Tulsi is no country other than Samoa.
When it is spoken about Samoa, there is every chance to emerge unnecessary confusion, as there are two by the same name: one is American Samoa – which is an overseas territory of the US, and the other is the Independent State of Samoa – which is popularly known as Western Samoa. In this edition, the independent country is explored.
About the Country
Samoa is composed of around two big Islands – Savaii and Upolu – and at least four small Islands – Manono, Apolima, Fanuatapu, and Namua. It is a unitary parliamentary democracy. It has as many as eleven administrative divisions. It is a Christian nation; at least ninety per cent of the country’s population are from that community. Its total population is less than two lakhs. Unlike many countries similar to this Island country, it is a developing country.
