Fiji (Fijian: Viti; Hindustānī: फ़िजी فِجی), officially the Republic of the Fiji Islands, is an island nation in the South Pacific Ocean east of Vanuatu, west of Tonga and south of Tuvalu. The country occupies an archipelago of about 322 islands, of which 106 are permanently inhabited, and 522 islets. The two major islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, account for 87% of the population. The name Fiji is the old Tongan word for the islands, which in turn is derived from the Fijian name Viti. Fiji is currently in the middle of a coup d'etat.

Geography
Fiji consists of 322 islands, of which 110 are inhabited, and 522 smaller islets. The two most important islands are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. The islands are mountainous, with peaks up to 1,300 metres (4,250 ft), and covered with tropical forests. Viti Levu hosts the capital city of Suva, and is home to nearly three quarters of the population. Other important towns include Nadi (the location of the international airport), and Lautoka. The main towns on Vanua Levu are Labasa and Savusavu. Other islands and island groups include Taveuni and Kadavu (the third and fourth largest islands respectively), the Mamanuca Group (just outside Nadi) and Yasawa Group, which are popular tourist destinations, the Lomaiviti Group, outside of Suva, and the remote Lau Group. Rotuma, some 500 kilometres (310 mi) north of the archipelago, has a special administrative status in Fiji.

Take it from someone who lived in Fiji, please (some people need to look things up when they give an answer). Fiji is a group of Islands in the South Pacific ocean. It is between Hawaii and Australia. There are no such things a Mt. Fiji and Fiji apples but there is a Mt. Fuji and there are Fuji apples.

I'm bad at my Geography but my favorite Fiji Apples come from New Zealand. (That is just the type of Apple)

Added: No wonder the best Fiji apples are from New Zealand,.. I cheated and looked on Wikipedia,.. look where it says it's at on the map XD

Incase you can't figure it out it's West of Austrilia & New Zealand,.. just some Islands there kinda like New Zealand,.. only smaller (and obviously the origin of a great fruit to me,.. though it's probably the only Fruit I'll touch at this point raw).
