Wallis and Futuna is a French overseas collectivity located in the South Pacific Ocean, consisting of three main volcanic island groups: Wallis, Futuna and Alofi. Located between Fiji and Samoa, this tropical archipelago has a total area of only 264 square kilometers and a population of about 11,000 people.

The archipelago has a tropical maritime climate, which is warm and humid throughout the year, with average temperatures ranging from 26-30°C. The islands are surrounded by coral reefs. Wallis Island is surrounded by coral reefs and has beautiful lagoons, while Futuna Island is known for its steep volcanic terrain, with its highest point at 524 meters above sea level. It is rich in biodiversity and has a unique marine ecosystem.
Historical and Cultural Characteristics
The local population is predominantly Polynesian and retains a traditional chiefly system. French is the official language, but Wallisian and Futuna are still widely spoken. Catholic culture has had a profound influence on social life, with numerous churches built on the island, and traditional dance and handicraft production are important cultural legacies.
