Tokelau,
is a territory of New Zealand in the South Pacific Ocean that consists of three tropical coral atolls (from the northwest, Atafu, Nukunonu and Fakaofo, as well as Swains Island which is governed as part of American Samoa) with a combined land area of 10 km2 (4 sq mi) and a population of approximately 1,400. Its capital rotates yearly between the three atolls. Tokelau lies north of the Samoan Islands, Swains Island being the nearest, east of Tuvalu, south of the Phoenix Islands, southwest of the more distant Line Islands, and northwest of the Cook Islands. The United Nations General Assembly designates Tokelau a Non-Self-Governing Territory. Until 1976, the official name was Tokelau Islands. It is a New Zealand territory, and is sometimes referred to by its older colonial name, the Union Islands. The highest point of Tokelau is just 5 meters above sea level (16 feet). There are no ports or harbours. Tokelau lies in the Pacific tropical cyclone belt. A fourth island that is culturally, historically, and geographically, but not politically, part of the Tokelau chain is Swains Island (Olohega), under United States control since about 1900 and administered as part of American Samoa since 1925 Most of the original vegetation has been replaced by coconut plantations some of which have been abandoned and became scrubby forests. The atolls of Tokelau provide habitat for 38 indigenous plant species, over 150 insect species and 10 land crab species. One of the greatest threats to biodiversity is posed by introduced mammalian predators such as the Polynesian Rat. Tokelau has increased its GDP by more than 10% through registrations of domain names under its top-level domain, .tk. Registrations can be either free, in which case the user owns only usage rights and not the domain itself, or paid, which grants full rights.
é um pequeno arquipélago na Polinésia, no Oceano Pacífico, e um território sob administração da Nova Zelândia, que corresponde às ilhas de mesmo nome, também conhecidas como Ilhas da União. Os vizinhos mais próximos de Toquelau são Quiribáti, a norte; as Ilhas Cook, a leste; Samoa e a Samoa Americana, a sul; e Tuvalu, a oeste. O arquipélago de Toquelau é formado por três atóis no sul do oceano Pacífico (Atafu, Nukunonu e Fakaofo), a cerca de 480 km de Samoa. Como não há estradas nem automóveis, todo o transporte em Toquelau é feito por mar. De acordo com um relatório da ONU de 1989, Toquelau faz parte das ilhas que podem desaparecer no século XXI caso não sejam tomadas medidas para conter o efeito estufa, que aumenta o nível dos oceanos. Cada atol tem seu próprio centro administrativo. A posse da terra é exclusividade dos nativos. As principais fontes de renda do arquipélago são a venda de licenças de pesca, a produção de um tipo especial de atum, o coco e a venda de selos postais Em 2014, o domínio de internet de Tokelau ".tk" tinha mais de 25 milhões de endereços registrados, mais do que qualquer outro domínio fora o ".com".
