New Caledonia gracefully unrolls across the Southern Pacific, showcasing a dazzling array of landscapes from the main island, the Grande Terre, to a spectacular array of smaller isles including Loyalty Islands and Isle of Pines. With a land area of 18,576 km2 stretched out over three beautiful provinces - North, South and Loyalty Islands, the country provides a serene haven for 271,407 residents as of 2019.

The archipelago's history is as intriguing as its natural beauty. Once part of the massive supercontinent Gondwana, New Caledonia's unique culture was shaped by the Lapita people in 1600 BCE, European exploration marked by Captain James Cook's arrival in 1774, French colonisation and penal transportation in the 19th century, and nickel-mining operations. The Kanak people’s resilience and the territory's evolution towards autonomy is echoed in the patchwork of ancient traditions and modern dynamism. Today, New Caledonia balances its French association with a strong desire for self-determination, encapsulated in the Territorial Congress and High Commissioner, and symbolised by its unique status as a sui generis collectivity.
