COOK ISLANDS
The Cook Islands is a self-governing nation in free association with New Zealand, consisting of 15 islands scattered across a large area of the southern Pacific Ocean. Its residents hold New Zealand citizenship and New Zealand retains responsibility for the territory’s defense and foreign affairs, though the Cook Islands government has increasingly pursued its own diplomatic relationships in recent decades. The islands were named after the British explorer James Cook, who visited them in the 1770s, though they had been settled by Polynesian peoples for at least a thousand years prior.
