{{Administrative divisions of France}}
'''Overseas France''' ({{lang-fr|France d'outre-mer}}, also
"Overseas France" is a collective name; while used in everyday life in France, it is not an administrative designation in its own right. Instead, the five [[Overseas departments and regions of France|overseas regions]] have exactly the same [[Administrative divisions of France|administrative status]] as the thirteen [[Metropolitan France|metropolitan]] regions; the five [[Overseas collectivity|overseas collectivities]] are semi-autonomous; and [[New Caledonia]] is an autonomous territory. Overseas France includes island territories in the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]], [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]] and [[Indian Ocean]]s, [[French Guiana]] on the [[South America]]n continent, and several [[list of Antarctic and Subantarctic islands|peri-Antarctic islands]] as well as a claim in [[Antarctica]]. Excluding the district of [[Adélie Land]], where French sovereignty is effective ''de jure'' by French law, but where the French exclusive claim on this part of [[Antarctica]] is frozen by the [[Antarctic Treaty System|Antarctic Treaty]] (signed in 1959), overseas France covers a land area of {{convert|120396|km2|abbr=on}}<ref>{{Cite web |last=Larousse |first=Éditions |title=Encyclopédie Larousse en ligne
Outside of Europe, four broad classes of overseas French territorial administration currently exist: [[overseas departments and regions of France|overseas departments/regions]], [[overseas collectivity|overseas collectivities]], the ''[[sui generis]]'' territory of [[New Caledonia]], and uninhabited territories. From a legal and administrative standpoint, these four classes have varying legal status and levels of autonomy, although all permanently inhabited territories have representation in both France's [[National Assembly (France)|National Assembly]] and [[Senate (France)|Senate]], which together make up the [[French Parliament]].

{{Main|Overseas collectivity}}
The category of "overseas collectivity" (
In contrast to overseas departments/regions, the [[Overseas collectivity|overseas collectivities]] are empowered to make their own laws, except in certain areas reserved to the French national government (such as defense, international relations, trade and currency, and judicial and administrative law). The overseas collectivities are governed by local elected assemblies and by the French Parliament and [[Government of France|French Government]], with a cabinet member, the [[Minister of the Overseas (France)|Minister of the Overseas]], in charge of issues related to the overseas territories.

A New Caledonian citizenship was established (in addition to the French citizenship which is kept in parallel, along with the European citizenship), and a gradual transfer of power from the French state to New Caledonia itself was begun, to last from 15 to 20 years.<ref>{{lang|fr|"Nouvelle-Calédonie", ''Le Petit Larousse''|italic=unset}} (2010), Paris, page 1559.</ref>
However, this process was subject to approval in a referendum. Three independence referendums have been held, in [[2018 New Caledonian independence referendum|2018]], [[2020 New Caledonian independence referendum|2020]] and 2021. In the first two referendums, the "yes" vote was 43.3% and 46.7% respectively. In the [[2021 New Caledonian independence referendum|third referendum
