Niue is a country in the Pacific Ocean, on the island of Niue. It is not a member of the United Nations and is instead in free association with File:NZ-icon.png New Zealand. It is often called "The Rock", or "The Rock of Polynesia".

History

The island was native to Polynesians at least from the year 900s. It was first seen by Europeans under File:JamesCook-icon.png James Cook in 1774.
Niue became a territory of the UK voluntarily, with the many chiefs of the island sending a letter to File:Victoria-icon.png Queen Victoria in 1889 asking for protection in the form of annexation, to which the british agreed (although disagreeing at first) in 1900, and Niue was incorporated into the British Empire, being integrated into File:NZ-icon.png New Zealand.
Niue became independent in legislature from New Zealand in 1974 following a referendum, however remained in free association.

Political Parties

Niue has no political parties, and all members of the government are independent politicians. The only party to exist on Niue was the Niue People's Party, which disbanded in 2003.

Personality

Associates itself with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson a lot. Believes itself to be very strong and has a lot of drive to get better, while being rather weak. Very scared of UN.

-In Niue, political parties have never played an important role. There is, at present, no political party, and candidates to elections therefore run as independents. The only party ever to have existed, the [[Niue People's Party]], disbanded in 2003.
