NEW CALEDONIA
NEW CALEDONIA

New Caledonia is ruled from France, but it has a special relationship (as a pays d’outre-mer, overseas’ country), being neither a département nor an overseas territory nor a collectivité territorial, with sovereignty in certain areas being progressively passed to New Caledonia itself. It forms part of the French mail system.
