Territory and Sovereignty

Basic Information

About territory

Niue is a self-governing island country in free association with New Zealand, located in the South Pacific Ocean. It is a raised coral atoll, often referred to as 'The Rock of Polynesia' due to its unique geological formation. The island's terrain features a limestone cliff coastline and a central plateau, supporting a diverse ecosystem. Historically, Niue was settled by Polynesian explorers and later came under British protection before becoming a territory associated with New Zealand. Today, Niue's economy relies heavily on New Zealand aid, agriculture, and a growing tourism sector.
