Wallis and Futuna, a French overseas territory in the South Pacific, consists of three main islands and numerous atolls, home to about 11,000 people. Traditional Polynesian culture dominates, with chiefs holding significant influence alongside French administration. Subsistence farming, fishing, and remittances sustain the economy, while its isolation—far from major trade routes—preserves a quiet, community-focused lifestyle, though it remains dependent on French support.
