Tonga is a country in Oceania with a population of 104,945. Tonga holds a unique place in the Pacific as the only remaining indigenous monarchy in Polynesia, a status it maintained despite external influences. Its history is deeply intertwined with its royal lineage and traditional customs, which are central to the Tongan people's identity. The economy has historically been agrarian, with strong family and community ties. Christianity, introduced by missionaries in the 19th century, became the predominant spiritual force, deeply integrated into Tongan society and influencing daily life, social norms, and national identity, often celebrated through traditional music and dance.
