Polynesian kingdom with more than 170 islands (5)

I believe the answer is:

tonga

(Other definitions for tonga that I've seen before include "Do a bad tango in the Pacific archipelago" , "Pacific island state" , "Tropic island" , "The Friendly Islands" , "two-wheeler" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
