Niue

Niue is an island located in the Pacific Ocean, Niue is in a free association with New Zealand. All Niueans are New Zeleands. The land area is 260 square kilometres (100 sq mi) with about 1,400 people who are predominantly Polynesian.


In 2003 Niue became the world's first Wi Fi nation.


Niue is one of the world's larrgest coral islands. A coral reef surrounds the island, with only a major break near Alofi (the capital). A notable feature is the number of limestone caves found close to the coast.


Some soils are geochemically very unusual.


Agriculture is very important to the lifestyle of Niueans and the economy, and around 204 square kilometres of Niue's total land area are available for agriculture. 



Tapioca or cassava, yams and kumaras also grow very well, as do different varieties of bananas. Coprapassionfruit and limes dominated exports in the 1970s, but in 2008 vanillanoni and taro are Niue's main export crops. 



Tourism, Fishery and Agriculture are Niue's 3 priority economic sectors.


Niue only counts with two broadcast media stations: television Niue and Radio sunshine, since it's really small size. And only with the "Niue star" as a newspaper.


The European Union is helping Niue convert to using renewable energy. 


Despite Niue being a small country, a number of different sports are popular. Rugby union is the most popular sport in Niue, played by both men and women; Niue were the 2008 FORU Oceania Cup champions.
