"Samoa, formerly called the Navigator Group, is composed of 10
principal inhabited islands and a number of islets.   It is politically
divided into the independant state of Western Samoa (114,000
inhabitants) and American Samoa (22,000 inhabitants).   About
half the population still speaks Samoan, a Polynesian tongue."
