Site of the volcanic mountain Mauga Afi (5)

I believe the answer is:

samoa

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

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
