Cook Islands, self-governing island group in free association with New Zealand, in the South Pacific Ocean. Hawaii lies 4,500 km (2,800 mi) to the north, and New Zealand is 2,600 km (1,600 mi) to the southwest. The Cook Islands group has its closest cultural affinities with Tahiti, located 1,000 km (600 mi) to the east. A former colony of New Zealand, the Cooks gained self-government in 1965. Avarua, the capital, is located on the island of Rarotonga. The 15 islands of the Cook group have a total land area of 230 sq km (90 sq mi). From north to south, the islands are spread over 1,400 km (900 mi); the east to west extent is about half that distance. The islands' exclusive economic zone—the area in which it has jurisdiction over resources, scientific research, and environmental protection—covers an ocean area of 2,200,000 sq km (850,000 sq mi). The population of the Cook Islands was 20,407 in 2000, with a population density of 86 persons per sq km (223 per sq mi). Almost 90 percent of the people live in the southern islands.
