Zilumba za Tokelau zimadziwikanso kuti "Union Islands" kapena "Union Islands". Gulu lakumwera chakum'mwera kwa Pacific Island, [1]  , ili ndi Fakaofo Atoll (Fakaofo, 2.63 ma kilomita), Atafu Atoll (Atafu, 2.03 ma kilomita), Nukunonu Atoll (Nukunonu, 5.46 ma kilomita) Km) wopangidwa ndi zilumba za 3 coral. Tokelau ili pakati pa 8 ° -10 ° kumwera chakumwera ndi 171 ° -173 ° kumadzulo longitude, makilomita 480 kumpoto kwa Western Samoa, makilomita 3900 kumwera chakumadzulo kwa Hawaii, Tuvalu kumadzulo, Kiribati kum'mawa ndi kumpoto.

Zilumba zitatu za Tokelau zimayambira kumwera chakum'mawa mpaka kumpoto chakumadzulo, zonse zizunguliridwa ndi zilumba zazing'ono zambiri ndi miyala, yomwe imapanga dziwe lapakati. Atoll yayikulu kwambiri Nukuno Noonan ili pamtunda wa makilomita 480 kuchokera ku Samoa. Zilumba za Atoll zili pamitsempha yam'madzi yomwe imatsikira kunyanja kutali ndi gombe. Dambo la atoll lili ndi madzi osaya ndi miyala yamiyala yamchere yomwe ili nalo, kotero silingathe kutumizidwa. Chilumbachi ndi chotsika komanso chosalala, chokwera mamita 2.4 mpaka 4.5 (8 mpaka 15 mapazi). Kukhathamira kwake kwa dothi lamchenga lamchere kumakakamiza anthu kuti atenge njira ziwiri zosungira madzi, mwachizolowezi amagwiritsa ntchito mitengo ya kokonati pakatikati posungira madzi.

Ili ndi nyengo yotentha yamchere ndi kutentha kwapakati pa 28 ° C. Julayi ndiye wozizira kwambiri ndipo Meyi ndiwotentha kwambiri. Komabe, kumakhala kozizira nthawi yamvula ndi mikuntho nthawi zina.

Mvula yapachaka imakhala 1500-2500, yomwe yambiri imapezeka munthawi yamalonda (Epulo mpaka Novembala) Pakadali pano pali mphepo zamkuntho ndi chilala m'miyezi ina.

Zomera zowirira kwambiri, pali mitundu pafupifupi 40 ya mitengo, kuphatikiza mitengo ya coconut, luer ndi mitengo ina ya Polynesia ndi zitsamba. Nyama zamtchire zimaphatikizapo makoswe, abuluzi, mbalame zam'nyanja ndi mbalame zina zosamuka.

Inakhala chitetezo cha Britain ku 1889. Mu 1948, ulamuliro wazilumbazi udasamutsidwa ku New Zealand ndikuphatikizidwa m'dera la New Zealand. Mu 1994, idakhala ulamuliro wa New Zealand. Ma referendum awiri odziyimira pawokha mu 2006 ndi 2007 adatha kulephera.

Nzika zambiri ndi nzika za ku Polynesia, ndipo azungu ochepa ndi ofanana pachikhalidwe ndi zilankhulo ku Samoa.

Ndalama zolipirira nsomba za ku Tokelau ndi mitengo yake zathandiza Tokelau kusonkhanitsa mapaundi miliyoni 1.2 pachaka.

Chuma chimayang'aniridwa ndi ulimi wokhazikika (kuphatikizapo usodzi). Dothi limatsimikiziridwa ndi ubale ndipo limangokhala kuti anthu azigwiritsa ntchito. Muli kokonati, zipatso za mkate, koko, papaya, taro ndi nthochi. Kokonati itha kupangidwa kukhala copra, yomwe ndi mbewu yokhayo yomwe imatha kugulitsidwa kunja. Taro amakula m'munda wapadera pomwe masamba amapangidwa ndi manyowa. Taro, zipatso za mkate, abambo ndi nthochi ndizokolola. Nkhumba ndi nkhuku ndi ziweto ndi nkhuku zoweta zosowa za tsiku ndi tsiku. Asodzi amapha nsomba m'nyanja komanso m'madzi ndi nsomba zam'madzi zodyedwa kwanuko.New Zealand itakhazikitsa dera lamakilomita 200 pazachuma m'ma 1980, Commission yaku South Pacific idayamba kukhazikitsa njira yophunzitsira asodzi. Mitengo ya Tauanave, yopangidwira kupanga mabwato, nyumba ndi zosowa zina zapakhomo, imabzalidwa kuzilumba zazing'ono zomwe zasankhidwa.

Kupanga kumangokhala kupanga kopra, kukonza tuna, kupanga mabwato, zopangira matabwa ndi kuwoloka zipewa, mipando, ndi matumba. Kugulitsa masitampu a philatelic ndi ndalama zimawonjezera ndalama zapachaka, koma ndalama zomwe Tokelau amawononga nthawi zambiri zimadutsa ndalama zapachaka ndipo zimafunikira thandizo ku New Zealand. Kubwezeretsa anthu ochulukirapo ochulukirapo ndichinthu chofunikira kwambiri pakupeza ndalama pachaka.

Wogulitsa wamkulu wakunja ndi New Zealand, kutumizira kunja ndi copra, ndipo kulowetsa kwakukulu ndi chakudya, zomangira ndi mafuta.

Ndalama ya New Zealand, komanso ndalama zachikumbutso za Trafigura. 1 Singapore dollar ndi pafupifupi US $ 0.7686 (Disembala 2007).
