Solomon Islands (not [[InsistentTerminology “THE Solomon Islands”]]) are almost a thousand islands east of New Guinea.

The country was a colony from the United Kingdom during a long time and it saw a lot of action during World War II (most famously, the Guadalcanal campaign). It declared independence in 1978, but ethnic tensions made it devolve into a civil war that ended in 2006 only with the ousting of the Prime Minister.

One of the few countries that doesn’t have a military force. On sports, their personal pride seems to be their beach soccer team. [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative Best of Oceania!]]
