Wallis and Fatuna

   French overseas territory, with a population of about 15,000, located in the middle of the Pacific, between Hawaii and New Zealand. These Islands have the status of French Overseas Collectivity (Collectivité d'Outre-Mer), meaning that they are generally autonomous and make their own laws. Until 2003, Wallis & Fatuna was classed as a TOM, or Territoire d'Outre-Mer.
