The islands occupy an area the size of India, but have a population (a little over 21,000 people) no larger than a small town in America. Local time is 10 hours behind GMT, with 9:00 a.m. in Hong Kong is 3:00 p.m. the previous day in the Cook Islands. When it is noon EST in the United States it is 5:00 p.m. in the Cook Islands.

Named after Captain James Cook, the famous British explorer who visited them in 1773, the islands became a British protectorate in 1888. By 1900, administrative control was transferred to New Zealand; in 1965, residents chose self-government and a free association with New Zealand. A member of the British Commonwealth, the islands have a constitution with a Westminster style parliament elected every four years by universal suffrage. The legal system is based on British common law and English is widely spoken.
