Wallis and Futuna is a French overseas collectivity located in the South Pacific Ocean, northeast of Fiji and west of the Samoan archipelago, comprising the Wallis, Futuna and Alofi islands. One of France's most remote overseas territories, it combines the French administrative system with traditional Polynesian culture. The official language is French, and Wallisian and Futuna are commonly spoken, with a population of about 12,000 people, and a capital city of Mauiuta. The archipelago is characterized by a volcanic landscape surrounded by coral reefs, a chieftaincy tradition, a culture that combines Polynesian song and dance with French life, an economy based on agriculture, fishing and a small amount of tourism, and an unspoiled natural landscape, making it a destination for experiencing a unique Franco-Polynesian cultural crossroads.
