1. Overview

“Originally settled by Polynesian emigrants from surrounding island groups, the Tokelau Islands were made a British protectorate in 1889. They were transferred to New Zealand administration in 1925. Referenda held in 2006 and 2007 to change the status of the islands from that of a New Zealand territory to one of free association with New Zealand did not meet the needed threshold for approval.”

CIA's The World Factbook (2013)5

As a territory of New Zealand I do not have many specific statistics for this territory in its own right.
