How
would you like to live on a tiny South Pacific island with just 14
villages, just 1,500 or so inhabitants—and yet be part of one of
the most powerful commonwealths in the world?
How
would you like to belong to the world's first Wi-Fi nation, with
sea-to-sea internet coverage provided for free by the government?
(This is easier to do in a very small country, of course!) How about
being in a nation that has a policy of One Laptop Per Child?
How
would you like to be a citizen of a government that is committed to
developing renewable energy from solar panels installed at the high
school, the hospital and the power company? And how would you like to
be in a nation so small you only need one high school, hospital, and
power company?
How
would you like to live on a raised coral atoll that has been pushed
up from below so that it has cliffs, some 60- to 100-foot tall?
If
all of this sounds grand, check out Niue, a self-governing
South-Pacific island nation that is in free association with New
Zealand and, therefore, the United Kingdom!
