Yes, the Cook Islands are a separate country with all the usual priveleges and responsibilities that enjoins, including self government with an elected parliament. Some issues such as foreign affairs and defence, they allocate to New Zealand, but not eclusively so. They are part of The Realm of New Zealand, but are in free association with that country.
