An island Republic in Melanesia (4)

I believe the answer is:

fiji

(Other definitions for fiji that I've seen before include "South Pacific member of the Commonwealth" , "Pacific island nation, capital Suva" , "South Pacific archipelago" , "part of the Pacific" , "Pacific island member of the Commonwealth, capital Suva" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
