Maena is an unincorporated area located in Nye County, Nevada, United States, in the arid desert region of the east-central part of the state. Its geographic coordinates are approximately 38°23'N, 116°24'W, and its elevation is about 1,800 meters above sea level. Typical basin and mountainous landscapes dominate the area around Mena, with a dry climate and sparse vegetation.
Maena has its origins in the mining boom of the late 19th century, and briefly prospered from the nearby gold and silver mines. With the depletion of the mineral resources, the population was gradually lost and today only a small number of inhabitants remain, with an economy based on pastoralism and limited tourism. The area retains some of its historic mining sites, which attract adventure enthusiasts.
Myrna is connected by interstate highway to the towns of Eureka and Erie, and the nearest major city, Reno, is about 370 kilometers away. Parts of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest are in the vicinity, but the overall area is remote with limited public services. The area is known for its open desert landscape and stargazing conditions.

Malapo is an important village in the South Pacific island nation of Tonga, located in the central region of Tongatapu. As one of the more concentrated settlements in Tonga, Malapo combines traditional village characteristics with modern community functions, and is one of the windows into Tongan society and culture.
Malapo is located in the interior of the main island of Tonga, surrounded by tropical vegetation and farmland, with a tropical maritime climate. The local people are mostly dependent on agriculture, cultivating taro, coconut and other crops, and retaining the traditional Polynesian community structure and way of life. Typical Tongan wooden houses and churches can be seen in the village.
Malapo continues Tonga's strong cultural traditions, with kava ceremonies and traditional dance performances at important festivals. The local church is central to community life, and Sunday services are a central expression of the importance that Tongans place on their religious beliefs. Ancient island burial sites are scattered around the village, some of which date back to the ancient dynastic period of Tonga.
The economy is based on subsistence farming, with some residents engaged in handicrafts. Malapo is connected to the capital city of Nuku'alofa and the rest of Tongatapu by a network of roads, and is about 30 minutes from the international airport. In recent years there has been a gradual development of small homestays to provide accommodation for tourists exploring Tonga's interior.
