Samoa gained independence from New Zealand in 1962 and has since developed a parliamentary democracy with a prime minister as the head of government. The country has a mixed economy that is heavily dependent on agriculture, tourism, and remittances from Samoans living abroad.

Samoa has strong cultural ties with its neighbors in the Pacific region, including Tonga, Fiji, and the Cook Islands. It is also a member of the Pacific Islands Forum, an intergovernmental organization that promotes cooperation on issues such as economic development and environmental protection.

In recent years, Samoa has faced challenges such as climate change and natural disasters, including cyclones and earthquakes. The country has also been affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a significant impact on its tourism industry.
