Dear Fiji,

The light blue of the Pacific, with your shield of sugar cane, coconut, bananas and the dove of peace. Almost every one of your young people completes lower-secondary school, and you sold the Pacific’s first sovereign blue bond.

“You sold the Pacific its first blue bond. Now let the ocean’s wealth carry every Fijian family to work that pays.”

Yours in design,Preeti SinhaPresident and CEO, Perfect NationsRead the full letter

Sovereign Assets

Five assets no balance sheet counts.

Each is owned today, earns today, and can lift Fiji closer to Perfect Capita.

  • A market in Suva, Fiji01

    The People

    933,000Citizens, 2025

    60 in every hundred live in towns and cities; the rest live on the land they farm and fish.

  • Sugar cane fields in western Viti Levu, Fiji02

    The Land

    17%Of land in farms and pasture

    The land that feeds the nation, and the first place a citizen dividend can be earned.

  • Tropical rainforest in the highlands of Viti Levu, Fiji03

    The Forest

    61.7%Of land under forest

    Standing forest holds the water, soil and carbon that the world will pay to keep.

  • A turquoise lagoon and coral reef in Fiji04

    The Water

    31,052 m³Renewable fresh water per person

    Enough to supply every home, once it is stored, treated and piped.

  • A hydropower reservoir in the hills of Viti Levu, Fiji05

    The Power

    60.1%Of energy from renewables, 2021

    Sun, wind, water and biomass already carry part of the load; the rest is the opportunity.

What each asset is worth, and how far it can carry Fiji toward Perfect Capita, is the question our research and our guests take up below.

The Living Line, and how it is measured

The Living LineThe poverty line measures income. The Living Line measures a life: food, water, shelter, energy, education, health and livelihood. Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards. Coverage scores each standard strictly out of 100, and a nation is held at its weakest: Fiji at 38.7, by livelihood, with water at 42.1 and shelter at 48.5 next.

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Fiji. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.

The people already building it.

The question every guest answers
“What does Fiji already own, and how could it pay for a decent life for every citizen?”

We are looking for the people with real stories from Fiji: the leaders who built something that works, and the keepers of local knowledge who know how their communities live, cope and thrive.
