South Pacific territory of Tokelau ....

Categories: Do You Know?

The tiny South Pacific territory of Tokelau is voting on whether to become one of the world's smallest self-governing states. Tokelau? I did a search and found the followings.

Tokelau consisted of three coral atolls, which together make up just 4.7 sq miles (12 sq km), lying halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand. It has no airport, roads or capital, with an annual income of $2m. It has been governed by New Zealand since 1926 after the British transferred administration to it. It has a population of just 1500 people. They have no currency of their own but uses the New Zealand dollars.

And in case you have been wandering which country a web address belongs to when you see .tk, this internet country code belongs to Tokelau of course!
