The Overseas Lands of French Polynesia are located in the Pacific Ocean between Australia and South America. It is a group of five archipelagoes, with Tahiti being the most well-known island. The population is about 280,000 people. As a French overseas territory, the French president is chief of state and is represented by a high commissioner. The president of French Polynesia is the head of government.
The French annexed various Polynesian islands during the 19th century and later formed the French colony of Oceania. In 1946, the islands became a French overseas territory, and subsequently, the country has moved toward obtaining autonomy. In 2004, French Polynesia acquired the status of “overseas country,” and today eventual independence is important on the political agenda.
France conducted atomic testing on the atolls between 1966 and 1996. In 1995, the nuclear testing resulted in violent protests in Papeete and widespread international demonstrations. The nuclear test site was dismantled in 1998.
Tourism is well developed in French Polynesia. The islands offer volcanic mountains, beaches and lagoons, sailing, snorkeling, and diving. Tahiti and Bora Bora are well-known destinations.
