Niue is a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand, and New Zealand conducts most diplomatic relations on its behalf.

As part of the Realm of New Zealand, Niueans are citizens of New Zealand and Charles III is Niue's head of state in his capacity as King of New Zealand.

Niue is a member of some UN specialised agencies, and is invited, alongside the other non-UN member state, the Cook Islands, to attend United Nations conferences open to "All states".

In January 2004, Niue was hit by Cyclone Heta, which caused extensive damage to the island, including wiping out most of South Alofi.

Niue is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean, 2,400 kilometres northeast of New Zealand.

Niue is located in a triangle between Tonga, Samoa, and the Cook Islands.

Niue is one of the world's largest coral islands.

I would imagine coconut palm swaying in Nuie.

I once met a nuie Gentleman. It was over lunch. We spoke about diet and staple food. Tapioca, he responded, and I said Rice. Then I said, we eat tapioca too. but on occassions. Eating tapioca all the time causes gas in the stomach.

He replied, we get gas if we eat rice too often.

That happened in Wellington, New Zealand.
