I think that's "Fiji" and it is west of the International Date Line.
The islands of Fiji are on both sides the Anti-meridian (-180 and +180 longitude) but the International Date Line (IDL) is bent to give uniform time (UTC+12) to all of the Fiji group. This makes Fiji a very interesting region to map makers.
GMT + 12 - Greenwich Mean Time (London's time) + 12 hours forward = Fiji Local Time.Example: London's Time = 3.00AM + 12 hours forward = 3.00PM (Fiji Local Time)
Yes, Fiji has experienced tsunamis in the past. One notable event was the tsunami that occurred in 1953 following an earthquake in the Aleutian Islands. This tsunami caused significant damage in Fiji and other Pacific islands.
The 1936 shilling from Fiji is a notable coin, as it represents a period when Fiji was a British colony. The coin features the image of King George V and holds historical significance due to its connection to Fiji's colonial past. It is often collected by numismatists for its unique design and rarity, reflecting the era's monetary system and the influence of British currency. Today, it serves as a tangible reminder of Fiji's history and its transition to independence.

Although the line at 180° passes right through Fiji, the International Date Line at that latitude is relocated to the east sides of Western Samoa and Tonga. I don't know how many miles that is, but it's at least 6° of longitude east of 180°. (Western Samoa relocated the International Date Line to its east side in December, 2011, less than seven months before the time of this writing.)
FIJI has foe ever been FIJI
Fiji is known for its unique contributions to the world, particularly in the realm of traditional practices and cultural heritage. One notable invention is the "kava" drink, made from the root of the kava plant, which has significant social and ceremonial importance in Fijian culture. Additionally, Fiji is recognized for its innovative approaches to sustainable tourism and environmental conservation, particularly in marine protection and management practices.
