Living in Solomon Islands
The Solomon Islands is an island nation comprising over 900 islands in the South Pacific Ocean. It is a member of the Commonwealth. The islands have been settled on for thousands of years, though they were only discovered by Europeans in the late 16th century. During World War Two, the region was the location of various intense battles between Allied Forces and the Japanese. In more recent years, the Island have experienced some civil unrest, as well as earthquakes, which most recently occurred in 2013 at a magnitude of 8.0 on the Richter Scale. During June and August, average temperatures are actually cooler than the rest of the year, which is generally humid. The nation is relatively poor and dependent on agriculture; 3 of 4 Solomon Islanders working in either fishing or subsistence farming. Though the landscape of the nation would seemingly lend itself to tourism due to its tropical features, the lack of effective transport infrastructure hinders any progress in developing the sector. The country also has alarmingly high levels of domestic violence against women. English is the official language of the country, but basically nobody can speak it, and instead local languages are most common. The Solomon Islands beach football team is the 10th best in the world according to FIFA rankings.
