Niue

Niue, a small island nation in the South Pacific, is a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand. It has a sparse population of around 1,600 residents, most of whom reside in the capital, Alofi. Niue's geographical isolation and small population present unique challenges for technology and telecommunications infrastructures. Despite these challenges, the nation has made significant progress in the technology sector. In 2003, Niue became the world's first "WiFi nation", providing free wireless internet service across the island. However, this connection is limited due to bandwidth restrictions. In terms of renewable energy, Niue is striving to become 80% renewable by 2025. Currently, the majority of the island's power is generated from imported diesel fuel, but plans are in place to construct solar farms and wind turbines.
