@Tokelau:Economy

Economy - overview: Tokelau's small size (three villages), isolation,
and lack of resources greatly restrain economic development and
confine agriculture to the subsistence level. The people must rely on
aid from New Zealand to maintain public services, annual aid being
substantially greater than GDP. The principal sources of revenue come
from sales of copra, postage stamps, souvenir coins, and handicrafts.
Money is also remitted to families from relatives in New Zealand.
