Outline of New Caledonia

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to New Caledonia: New Caledonia[1] – "sui generis collectivity" (in practice an overseas territory) of France, comprising a main island (Grande Terre), the Loyalty Islands, and several smaller islands.

At about half the size of Taiwan, it has a land area of 18,575.5 square kilometres (7,172 sq mi).

The population was 244,600 inhabitants as of January 2008 official estimates.

New Caledonia decided to remain within the French Republic after three referendums held in 2018, 2020, and 2021.

The future status of New Caledonia (i.e. possibility of becoming an independent state) is not settled, however.
