Overview
New Caledonia is an archipelago consisting of one main island, Grande Terre, and several small islands. The estimated population of New Caledonia was 268 800 in 2014.
Since becoming a specific entity of the French Republic in 1999, New Caledonia has enjoyed broad autonomy under a special status established by the Nouméa Accord, distinct from the French overseas “collectivities”. The Congress is formed from each of the three provincial assemblies of South, North and Loyalty Islands. The president is the head of government and exercises executive power. N\
