description Minerva Reef Overview
Minerva Reefs are submerged coral atolls in the South Pacific, situated south of Fiji and southwest of Tonga. In 1972, libertarian settlers attempted to establish the Republic of Minerva there after constructing a small platform and declaring independence. Tonga asserted sovereignty over the reefs and removed the movement's flag that year. Their political history has remained connected to competing regional maritime claims.
