DOWNLOAD EBOOKWallis and Futuna is a French island territory located in the South Pacific, comprising of three main islands: Wallis, Futuna, and Alofi. The islands are situated between Fiji and Samoa, with a combined area of just under 300 km². Despite being a French territory, the language spoken remains primarily Wallisian and Futunan. The economy of Wallis and Futuna is largely based on agriculture and subsistence farming, with importation of goods being necessary due to the lack of natural resources on the islands. The small population of approximately 11,000 people is heavily reliant on governmental support from the French government, with education and healthcare being provided for by the French state. There is also a limited tourism industry, with visitors coming to enjoy the beautiful beaches and traditional culture of the islands.
