Fiji is an archipelago of more than three hundred islands, and nearly all of its people live on two of them: Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Its fourteen provinces are the units the country's chiefly system and its administration are organised around, and the map also has to find Rotuma, a small island dependency with its own council that lies far to the north of everything else.
Fiji is governed in four divisions, each a group of provinces. The Western Division holds the dry side of Viti Levu, the largest island: Ba, Ra and Nadroga-Navosa. The Central Division is the south-east of Viti Levu around the capital Suva, which is in Rewa, with Naitasiri, Namosi, Serua and Tailevu. The Northern Division is Vanua Levu, the second island, split between Bua, Cakaudrove and Macuata, and Cakaudrove also reaches over to Taveuni. The Eastern Division is the scattered one: Lomaiviti in the middle of the group, Kadavu to the south, Lau in the far east and Rotuma away in the north.
Rotuma is not a province. It is a dependency with its own council and a distinct culture, and the map treats it as the fifteenth area to learn. It lies about 400 kilometres north of Vanua Levu, so the map moves it south into the empty sea north-west of Vanua Levu and draws a dashed line around it, rather than leaving most of the frame empty.
Fiji lies across the 180th meridian, so the date line runs through the province of Cakaudrove and the Lau islands. The map draws them whole, as one shape, on the eastern side of the world.
Rewa is a small province in the south-east of Viti Levu, and it holds Suva, the capital and the largest city in the Pacific islands outside Papua New Guinea.
Lau is dozens of small islands strung out to the east and south-east, a few across the date line. It has almost no land, so it is a province you place by the empty sea it takes up.
Rotuma is about 400 kilometres north of Vanua Levu, a volcanic island a few kilometres across. On the map it sits alone inside the dashed line at the top left, well away from where it is in the real world.
Fourteen, in four divisions. Rotuma, a dependency with its own council, is not a province but is on the map as well, which is why the game has fifteen areas.
Suva, the capital, is in the province of Rewa, in the Central Division on the south-east coast of Viti Levu.
Fiji is on both sides of the antimeridian. The provinces of Cakaudrove, Macuata and Lau cross it, so the map draws the part that falls west of it again on the far side, where it joins the rest.
