| According to westerners, Tonga has never been touched by modern | |
| society and the best excuse for monarchism is living on a small | |
| island? Is it not more sad still when non-westerners feel the | |
| need to justify their monarchy to westerners? | |

| Lost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, halfway between New | |
| Caledonia and French Polynesia, emerges a string of islands | |
| stretching for nearly 500 km: Tonga. Kings have reigned since | |
| antiquity in this country, which has overcome more than one | |
| challenge: avoiding colonization, preserving its language and | |
| traditions, and establishing a constitutional monarchy as early | |
| as the 19th century. We find a unique people, with a youth torn, | |
| in the internet age, between respect for customs and the | |
| yearning for something different.[/quote] | |
