Definition

  • New Caledonia is a group of islands east of Australia in the South Pacific, the largest of which is Grand Terre. It has been a French possession since 1853, although an increasing amount of governing responsibility has been transferred from France to New Caledonia since the 1998 Noumea Accord.
