New Caledonia (Nouvelle-Calédonie) is a French overseas dependency in the South Pacific, not an independent country. It consists of several islands, including the main island of Grande Terre, the Loyalty Islands and the Isle of Pines, and its capital is Nouméa.
New Caledonia is known for the world's largest lagoon and coral reef system, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The island has a unique biodiversity, especially the rare New Caledonian crow and a rich tropical flora. Its laterite soil is rich in nickel and has some of the largest reserves in the world.
The local population is multicultural, consisting of Kanak aborigines, people of European and Asian descent. The official language is French and the common currency is the Pacific franc. The economy is based on nickel mining, tourism and fishing, and Nouméa is an important commercial and transportation hub in the South Pacific.
