Wallis and Futuna is a French overseas collectivity located in the South Pacific Ocean. Comprising three main volcanic islands and several smaller islets, it is one of the smallest territories under the French administration. The capital of Wallis and Futuna is Mata-Utu, situated on the island of Wallis. The economy of the territory is predominantly based on subsistence agriculture, fishing, and remittances from emigrants. The local culture is a blend of Polynesian traditions and French influences due to its colonial history. Wallis and Futuna has a unique political status within the French Republic, with a locally elected territorial assembly and a French administrator representing the French government.
