Niue is located in the south-central Pacific Ocean, with only 14 villages and a population of 1,700. Its land was formed 1 million years ago, when volcanoes burst out and erupted magma to form the prototype of Niue. The British discovered it at the end of the eighteenth century and declared it British territory. 但自1900年起这里便划属给了新西兰，1974年成立独立王国，是世界上人口第二少的国家。
1. The country consists of fourteen villages
There are 14 villages in Niue, with an average of more than 100 people per village, and the country is also a level of administrative unit. Niue is also the second least populous country, after the Vatican.
2. The land created by volcanic eruptions
More than two million years ago, it was still a vast ocean. Due to submarine volcanic eruptions that produce nutrients, corals absorb and grow in large quantities, eventually becoming coral reef islands.
3. Extremely exclusive indigenous people
In 1770, the famous British Royal Navy officer Captain Cook discovered the island, and the fleet trying to land on the island was expelled by the local natives with stone bows and arrows.
Captain Cook had no choice but to lead the team away and named the place "Savage", which means island with strong people.
4. Brutally killed kindred
During the Great Voyage, Britain coveted this strategic place and planned to invade it with culture first. So the British royal family sent missionaries to plunder two children on the island of Niue and bring them to England for Christian mission.
Seven years later, the two boys returned from school, but they were no longer accepted by the people when they landed on the island, and the natives believed that they had returned from hell and brutally killed them.
5. The spread of Christian culture
In 1840, the son of a Niue chieftain encountered a storm while fishing at sea, and after two days and one night at sea, he arrived in Samoa, where he became a devout Christian under the influence of local missionaries.
Two years later, the chief's son returned to the tribe, and his father sent fifty soldiers to keep him safe. Not long after his father's death, his son Nukai inherited the chieftain and led his clan into the Commonwealth.
6. Racially devastating catastrophes
In 2004, Niue was hit by a once-in-a-millennium tsunami that flattened several islands. The disaster reduced the country's population from 1,500 to 400, and it has not yet recovered.
7. Niue enjoy dual citizenship
After World War II, Niue was entrusted with New Zealand, which was responsible for domestic defense and diplomacy. At the same time, the agreement stipulates that Niue people enjoy dual citizenship of New Zealand and Niue.
8. The meaning of the national flag
The flag of Niue, consisting of the yellow and Union Jack, was inaugurated in 1975. The yellow part symbolizes the friendship between Niue and New Zealand, and the British icon in the upper left corner represents itself as a member of the British Commonwealth.
9. The largest domestic enterprises come from Guangdong, China
Niue lacks natural resources, and the only large company in the country is from Guangdong, China, mainly dealing in canned fruit. Most of the company's products are sold to New Zealand and employ half of the country's population.
10. Women's Bar Mitzvah
Niue folk have an intimate rite of passage, and on Saturdays, women over the age of 15 are pierced in their ears, which means that they can now marry.
11. Women are prohibited from wearing swimsuits on weekends
Sunday is the holiest day in Niue, when fishing and hunting are prohibited. At the same time, women are not allowed to go out in swimsuits or revealing clothes, otherwise they will be arrested.
12. New Zealand has the right to recruit troops from Niue
Although Niue's defence was vested in New Zealand, New Zealand had the right to recruit troops within its country as a condition of the agreement. During both world wars, Niue sent soldiers to fight with New Zealand.
