I'm sure that to the people of Tonga, it is special for many reasons. To those of us from the outside, its main claim to fame is that it remains the only island nation in the Pacific or Indian Oceans that was never colonized.
The Wikipedia article on Tonga states, "In 2010, Tonga took a decisive step towards becoming a fully functioning constitutional monarchy after legislative reforms paved the way for its first fully representative elections, which resulted in Noble Sialeʻataongo TuʻivakanŠbeing elected as Tonga's first ever democratically elected Prime Minister."
