Tokelau is the smallest archipelago in the world, consisting of three coral islands, Fakaofu Atoll, Atafu Atoll and Nukunonu Atoll, with a total area of less than 13 square kilometres.
Tokelau
It has a tropical maritime climate, with temperatures often around 28 degrees Celsius, and the scenery is beautiful and the climate is pleasant.

Tokelau is an autonomous region of New Zealand, located 3,700 kilometers from the New Zealand mainland, much longer than Harbin to Haikou, sandwiched between Samoa and Tonga.
Attafu Atoll
It is very inaccessible, there is no modern port, ships cannot dock at all, only airstrips have been built.
Of course, Tokelau was not entirely incommunicado with the outside world, and Tokelau was serviced monthly by passenger and cargo ships to and from Samoa, except for telephone and online communication.
The population of Tokelau as a whole is less than 1,500 (in fact more have moved to New Zealand proper), and the vast majority of the inhabitants are Polynesian, with a few Europeans.
House on the island
The region's barren land is unsuitable for agriculture, and collecting fishing licence fees from United States fishing vessels in the exclusive economic zone is an important source of income, amounting to £1.2 million a year.
Under the Free Association Agreement, New Zealand provides more than $6 million a year in financial assistance to the region, which is the islands' main revenue.
With a lot of income every year, the people living here don't have to fight for food and clothing like their ancestors, and the daily task is to eat and sleep, there is nothing else to do, there is no need to do, just leave the troubles to the New Zealand government.
Tokelauans
Eating, sleeping and sleeping is the norm for locals, and this lifestyle changes people's face. According to the World Health Organization, 93.6% of people in Tokelau are obese, the highest proportion of people in the South Pacific islands, and a diabetes rate of 43.6%.
In order to stimulate the vitality of the local economy and develop tourism, New Zealand has invested heavily in improving tourist facilities and building luxury hotels in the region, but the locals are not enthusiastic about this, and after a few years, Tokelau receives less than 20,000 tourists a year, and 80% of them are New Zealanders, and many tourist facilities are abandoned. In 2017, Tokelau's GDP was less than $500,000.
Tokelau
In 2006 and 2007, two successive independence referendums were held in the region, held under United Nations supervision, but neither result was adopted, and none of the inhabitants of the archipelago wanted independence.
Tokelau
There are many people who become residents of Tokelau by living in Tokelau, and then apply for a New Zealand passport, because of local regulations (as long as you have lived on the island for 5 years, you automatically become a resident of the island, because it belongs to New Zealand, so the passport applied for is a New Zealand passport).
It's a vacation every day, isn't it a little fascinating?
