Tongatapu

Tongatapu is the main island of the Kingdom of Tonga and the location of its capital Nukuʻalofa. It is located in Tonga's southern island group, to which it gives its name, and is the country's most populous island, with approximately 71,260 residents (2006), 70.5% of the national population, on 260 km2. Its maximum height is 65m. Tongatapu is Tonga's centre of government and the seat of its monarchy.

Tongatapu, as a commercial and transport hub, has (led by Nukuʻalofa) experienced more rapid economic development than, as well as attracting many internal migrants from, the other islands of the Kingdom.

Geography

The island is 257.03 square kilometres (99.24 square miles) (or 260.48 km² with neighboring islands) and rather flat, as it is built of coral limestone. The island is covered with thick fertile soil consisting of volcanic ash from neighboring volcanoes. At the steep coast of the south, heights reach an average of 35m gradually decreasing towards the north. Tongatapu is highest in elevation around the villages of Fua'amotu and Nakolo with a height of 65m.

Afa, Corse-du-Sud

Afa (or Afà in Corsican) is a French commune in the Corse-du-Sud department of France on the island of Corsica.

The inhabitants are called Afayens or Afayennes

Geography

Afa town is a small town about 8 kilometres (5 mi) north-east of Ajaccio, located north-west of the Gravona valley. Highway N194 forms the southern border of the commune and gives access to the town of Baleone. To access Afa from Ajaccio it is necessary to take the turn-off from Highway N194 to Highway D81 heading north to the intersection of Highway D161, which highway leads east into Afa village. Road D161 continues west through the canton to join Highway N193 forming an access road from the eastern side. There is also the D5 road giving access to Afa from Pratu Tondu in the east. The northern border is delineated by the peaks of the high mountain ranges to the north.

Relief

The commune lies on the southern slope of the Punta Pastinaca mountains, including Appietto at 814 metres (2,671 ft). The Rock of Gozzi, at 708 metres (2,323 ft), forms part of the northern border, "riding" on the two communes.
