Other early explorers included Able Tasman, Captain Wallis and Captain Cook who was prompted to name this island chain the Friendly Islands. Captain Bligh was also a visitor to this area.

Tonga is ruled by a monarch and is the smallest kingdom in the world with a population of 83,000. lt consists of three main island groups most of which are low, featureless coral atolls.
