About
Wallis and Futuna is a French overseas collectivity in the South Pacific, consisting of Wallis, Futuna, Alofi islands, and Uvea atoll. It is mainly inhabited by Wallisian and Futunian populations of Polynesian culture. The population has declined by a quarter over 20 years due to negative net migration.
