maps of tokelau

Tokelau is located in the South Pacific Ocean and also called Union Island at times. Tokelau maps an area of ten square kilometers. The country doesn’t have a single capital and must be the only country in the world not to have a capital, each atoll in the country has a different administrative centre.

The official language of the country is Tokelauan and English. The country’s head of the state is the queen of England. The name of the country means that it is the north wind in Polynesian. These islands also fall in the pacific typhoon belt and there is always breeze and winds blowing at a high speed in this country.

The Tokelauan economy is the smallest economy in the world. The government is totally depended on New Zealand for money and all kinds of subsidies. The items of export include copra, stamps, woven and carved handicraft. There are small scale industries for copra production.

A lot of Tokelauan support their family through remittances sent from New Zealand. The maps of Tokelau also prove the point of the countries geographic helplessness.
