Cook Islands's company register lists 12,528 officer rows, 6,555 with a stated nationality (self-stamp rate 0.00; above 0.98 the field is ignored as it only repeats the register's own country).
Counts are people with a documented cross-border move: an official register's nationality or birthplace, ORCID/VIAF/Wikidata records, or a dated study-then-work transition. Name-based estimates and heritage (ancestral) readings are not included in these counts. Groups under 5 people are folded into "Other".
