Why is Niue missing. I was there last week and they certainly think of themselves as a country similar to Cook Islands.

Niue and the Cook Islands are actually part of New Zealand, but in a 1974 agreement they were given the freedom to govern themselves as a separate countries. President Biden actually first recognized them this past September as sovereign countries. In reality they are each part of the Realm of New Zealand, sharing the same Head of State and His Majesty the King.

Great answer, I fully understand that. My hope is that with that excellent knowledge and facts that Niue will be added to the list of countries here. That will bring my total to 64!!!
