About Vanuatu Introduction The Republic of Vanuatu, formerly known as the New Hebrides, is an island nation in the Southwest Pacific Ocean with about a dozen significant islands and many smaller islands extending between the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn. Independence was obtained in 1980 after some 74 years of joint rule by Britain and France. Melanesians were the first people to settle in Vanuatu and were joined later by small numbers of Polynesians. Permanent settlement by Europeans didn't happen until the 19th century. The population count in the 1999 census was approximately 195,000. About 95% are the indigenous people, known as 'Ni-Vanuatu'. Over 20% of the population lives in the urban centres of Port Vila and Luganville. English, French and Bislama are the official languages and there are over 100 indigenous languages. Business is conducted mainly in English, although there are many French companies who conduct their business in both French and English. Vanuatu's climate ranges from tropical in the north to sub tropical in the south. The surrounding ocean moderates temperature and trade winds provide a cooling sea breeze.

The dual English and French influence inherited from the Condominium enhances the country's cultural diversity and provides a good basis for economic development and tourism. The country is made up of some 80 islands in the shape of a �Y� on a north-westerly slant. The northernmost islands, the Torres group, are about 900 km from Aneityum at the southern tip with the whole group covering a land mass of 12,189 km2 and an ocean area of 450,000 km2. Vanuatu consists of a young chain of rugged volcanic islands, rising high out of the sea and mountainous. Being located right on the Pacific Rim of Fire, on the subduction zone of two tectonic plates, Vanuatu is often subject to earthquakes.
