Niue is one of the world’s smallest independent nations, with a population of approximately 1,800 (UN estimate for 2024). It is one of the least populated countries in the world, after the Vatican, and the local people are very relaxed and laid-back, perhaps because a quarter of them are government employees who enjoy a Four-Day Working Week. On this trip we explore various aspects of life in Niue. We chat with the island’s sole prison inmate, who is actually free to come and go as he pleases, discover a fire and raise the alarm, visit a high school, help out at a construction site and check out the best scenic spots on the island, with the help of recommendations from the locals.
