I was seriously considering Fiji. It's beautiful, the weather is good (out of the hurricane path), it's close enough to Australia to be a good tourist destination, and really super property is very attractively priced.

Then I got to the part about 2 very recent coups and the political uncertainty, and I decided against.

The trouble with new political rulers who took power by force is that they start to look around and want to maximize their income from their newly stolen country. That is sometimes not a good situation for land owners, and particularly foreign investors.

The latest coup was VERY recent.

I am thinking I might watch Fiji for a few years and if it looks like the political situation is stable, then I might invest. It is a truly gorgeous place.
