Tokelau: The Most Isolated Nation in the World

This is a Documentry about the smallest and most Isolated Nation in the world. Tokelau, Tokelau is an overseas territory of New Zealand that has really not received much attention, so I decided to make a detailed documentry on Tokelau's History, Geography, Culture and Traditions and Politics.
DISCLAIMER: Pronounciations of words will be wrong, I am sorry, Pronouncing words in general is very difficult for me.
Correction 1: There are vehicles such as golf carts on the island despite there being no paved roads.
Correction 2: The sale of oscilloscopes is because of them being used to test solar panels, only for them to resold later once they were not needed and were classified as one of Tokelaus main exports.
This video is a huge passion project for me ever since I became interested in Geopolitics and History. I bought the flag originally as I thought it would be funny to put it up and have no one understand what it represents, but I later started researching about Tokelau and realised just how amazing of a place Tokelau is. I also noticed that there was not alot in the way of Tokelau content that existed on RU-vid. I wanted to make this video as accurate as possible and really tell the story of the Tokelauan people.
If anyone is from Tokelau or ethnically Tokelauan, I would love to get in contact with you to learn more about you and your culture, maybe even do a live interview, leave a comment on the video and we can get in contact with eachother via email!
This RU-vid channel as a whole is a Channel set up by myself and my partner. We want to cover Obscure and less talked about topics and shed a light and educate more people on them, there will be more content coming soon based on Geography, History, Music and Film.

I think you added a bit of confusion by not showing how far apart the islands are, their actual orientation to each other and their size relative to each other.
@TwoObscure
@TwoObscure 4 месяца назад
Yeah, scaling was difficult, I had to sacrifice accuracy, otherwise the islands would be so small that you wouldn't be able to see them.
@sw1ftshot
@sw1ftshot 4 месяца назад
yeah maybe you could have shown an image of the relative size for a few seconds at the beginning or something like that to get a quick understanding@@TwoObscure
@AnnoyingEdu
@AnnoyingEdu 4 месяца назад
True, I was also wondering a bit and kinda guessed that they'd probably be way further apart than shown. Regarding size and orientation I was left in the dark of course. I think the route that swiftshot mentioned would've been a good compromise.

Bruh just be grateful, you don’t see anything about Tokelau this detailed, no tokelauan is putting in this effort either so hush the mouth and be happy. Because let’s face it, our island is ALWAYS forgotten about.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oscilloscopes? You can't drop that "fact" at the end without further explanation. They certainly can't be manufacturing oscilloscopes. Could it have been a reseller situation? I'm going with typo on the 2019 trade records. More info please!
@eleemikolaj
@eleemikolaj 4 месяца назад
I don't like to link as RU-vid will oftentimes blacklist your comment, but there's some information about it online if you Google. The abridged version is either they were reselling them, or a mistake was made in the reporting. At least that's most likely.
@TwoObscure
@TwoObscure 4 месяца назад
I thought this aswell, it may be a case of reselling them, maybe the machines were used during the installation of their solar panels and then resold once not needed anymore.

Nice video! But isn’t Tristan da Cunha supposed to be the remotest inhabited island over the world?
@TwoObscure
@TwoObscure Месяц назад
It is technically, but the island itself has no UN representation or government. It is also home to mostly scientists who are british. It is also governed by St Helena. Hence Tokelau is the most isolated "Nation" in the world, the most isolated Island in the world would probably be Bouvet island belonging to Norway.

As far as I am aware they are still not allowed, there aren't any paved road infrastructure on the island to really accommodate large vehicles. travel.gc.ca/destinations/tokelau This travel guide by the Canadian government states still in road safety that there are no vehicles of paved roads on Tokelau.

there are vehicles and trucks there but they mainly use golf carts to travel around the atoll as its more convenient & the heat over there is just out of it 😂 but atafu is where my mother is from & we visit there quite often 😁 thank you for the video!!

As a Tokelauan I gotta say...Atafu isn't the most populated island of Tokelau, it is Fakaofo w 600 population
@TwoObscure
@TwoObscure 3 месяца назад
Hey, My fact stated in the video that Atafu Village was the most populated settlement in Tokelau. The island of Fakaofo has 2 settlements named Fenua Fala and Fale. According to the 2006 census they have a combined population of 480 people, that may have increased since, but since the population would be split between the 2 settlements, Atafu Village is still the largest settlement on Tokelau.
