Niue is an island nation in the South Pacific Ocean. It is commonly known as the “Rock of Polynesia”, and natives of the island call it “the Rock”. Though self governing, Niue is in free association with New Zealand, and thus lacks full sovereignty. Queen Elizabeth II is Niue’s head of state. Most diplomatic relations are conducted by New Zealand on Niue’s behalf.
Niue is 2,400 kilometers northeast of New Zealand in a triangle between Tonga, Samoa, and the Cook Islands. The people are predominantly Polynesian.
