Capital City:
Tokelau does not have one official capital; instead, its administrative center and leadership rotate annually among its three atolls: Atafu, Nukunonu, and Fakaofo, with Fakaofo often mentioned due to its high population and historical significance as the "chiefly island".
time difference: UTC+13 (18 hours ahead of Washington, DC during Standard Time)
note: there is no designated, official capital for Tokelau; the location of the capital rotates among the three atolls along with the head of government or Ulu o Tokelau
