The Independent State of Samoa, formerly known as Western Samoa, is an island state encompassing the western part of the Samoan Islands in the South Pacific Ocean, while the eastern part belongs to the USA. In 1962, Samoa became independent from New Zealand. Upolu and Savai'i are the two main islands of Samoa. The parliamentary republic is divided into eleven political districts, the so-called “itumalo“.
