Pago Pago place (5)

I believe the answer is:

samoa

(Other definitions for samoa that I've seen before include "Polynesian isle" , "Group of islands in the South Pacific" , "Polynesian island group" , "South Pacific island country, gaining its independence from New Zealand in 1962" , "Pacific islands state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
