Vava is one of the three largest groups of islands that form the Polynesian Kingdom of the Island of Tonga. Tonga is located in the South Pacific and consists of 169 mostly small volcanic and coral islands. Characteristic vegetation of the volcanic islands is tropical rain forest, on the low coral islands grow mainly coconut and pandanus palm trees.
Among the states of the Pacific region, Tonga occupies a special position, as the Tonga Islands were the only group of islands that did not have the status of a colony. Moreover, it is still the only hereditary monarchy in the entire Polynesian Pacific region. Together with Samoa and Fiji, Tonga is considered the cradle of Polynesian culture.
The people from Tonga like to eat, much and especially very fat. The King of Tonga, with his 210 kg, was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as "the world's fattest monarch".
