Nukaravu

Nukaravu is an island country in Equatorial Polynesia, about halfway between Hawaii and the Marquesas Islands, or 100 km south of the equator. Consisting of 33 Islands and atolls, its main (largest and most populous) island is Raparoa, home to the capital and largest city of Rangatapu, as well as an estimated population of 114,960 (about 75% of the archipelago's total estimated 2023 population of 201,680).

Etymology
In the Nukaravuan language (Nukaravese Māori), Nukaravu literally translates as "archipelago of palms", as palm trees (especially coconut and guava) were native to the islands, unlike Hawaii, whence the original Polynesian settlers are thought to have arrived in Nukaravu circa 1300 AD.
