The Cook Islands is an island country in Polynesia, part of Oceania in the South Pacific Ocean. It consists of 15 islands whose total land area is approximately 236.7 square kilometers (91 sq mi). The Cook Islands Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) covers 1,960,027 square kilometers (756,771 sq mi) of the ocean. Avarua is its capital.
The Cook Islands is self-governing and has a free association with New Zealand. Since the start of the 21st century, the Cook Islands has directed its own independent foreign and defense policy. Also, it has its own customs regulations, although it has no armed forces and therefore generally relies on New Zealand for its external defense. In recent decades, the Cook Islands have adopted an increasingly assertive and distinct foreign policy, and a Cook Islander, Henry Puna, served as Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum from 2021 to 2024. Most Cook Islanders are also citizens of New Zealand, but they also have the status of Cook Islands nationals, which is not given to other New Zealand citizens. The Cook Islands have been an active member of the Pacific Community since 1980.
The Cook Islands' main population centers are on the island of Rarotonga (10,863 in 2021). The Rarotonga International Airport, the main international gateway to the country, is on this island. The census of 2021 put the total population at 14,987.
