The archipelago,which is of volcanic origin,is 1,750 km (1,090 mi) east of northern Australia,540 km (340 mi) northeast of New Caledonia,east of New Guinea,southeast of Solomon Islands,and west of Fiji.
The politics of Vanuatu take place within the framework of a constitutional democracy. The constitution provides for a representative parliamentary system. The head of the Republic is an elected president. The prime minister of Vanuatu is the head of government.

The approximately 450 Oceanic languages are a branch of the Austronesian languages. The area occupied by speakers of these languages includes Polynesia,as well as much of Melanesia and Micronesia. Though covering a vast area,Oceanic languages are spoken by only two million people. The largest individual Oceanic languages are Eastern Fijian with over 600,000 speakers,and Samoan with an estimated 400,000 speakers. The Gilbertese (Kiribati),Tongan,Tahitian,Māori and Tolai languages each have over 100,000 speakers. The common ancestor which is reconstructed for this group of languages is called Proto-Oceanic.
The United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) is an organization formed from the merger of three political independence movements seeking independence for Western New Guinea from Indonesia. The ULMWP was formed on 7 December 2014 in Vanuatu uniting the Federal Republic of West Papua (NRFPB),the West Papua National Coalition for Liberation (WPNCL) and the National Parliament of West Papua (NPWP).
The Southern Oceanic languages are a linkage of Oceanic languages spoken in Vanuatu and New Caledonia. It was proposed by John Lynch in 1995 and supported by later studies. It appears to be a linkage rather than a language family with a clearly defined internal nested structure.
The Parliament of Vanuatu is the unicameral legislative body of the Republic of Vanuatu.
General elections were held in the Solomon Islands on 5 April 2006. No party won more than four of the fifty seats,while thirty seats went to independent candidates. A number of those subsequently formed an Association of Independent Members of Parliament,with Snyder Rini as their leader. Rini was elected prime minister by Parliament on 18 April,amidst "widespread street protests" in Honiara,which caused particular damage in the city's Chinatown. Rioters "alleged corruption and insisted that Mr. Rini had been unfairly favouring Chinese businessmen". While the riots ceased with the arrival of Australian and New Zealand peacekeeping troops the next day,the opposition soon lodged a motion of no confidence in Rini's premiership. Rini resigned on 26 April,having been Prime Minister for just eight days. Opposition parties united in a coalition and succeeded in having Manasseh Sogavare,of the Solomon Islands Social Credit Party,elected Prime Minister on 4 May.
