Overseas collectivity Totally Explained

Everything about Overseas Collectivity totally explained

The French overseas collectivities (or COM), like the French regions (French: régions), themselves, are first-order administrative divisions of France. The French overseas collectivities include some former French overseas territories and other French overseas entities with a particular status, all of which were given the name collectivités d'outre-mer by constitutional reform on 28 March 2003.
As of 22 February 2007, there were six French overseas collectivities:

French Polynesia, with a great degree of autonomy, two symbolic manifestations of which are the title of the President of French Polynesia (Le président de la Polynésie française) and the territory's additional designation as a pays d'outre-mer. Legislature: Assembly of French Polynesia.
Mayotte, an island in the Indian Ocean, which was detached from Comoros in 1976. Its current status closely resembles that of a department. The entity has an elected general council and the additional designation of departmental collectivity.
Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The entity has a territorial council.
Wallis and Futuna, three small islands in the Pacific Ocean and the only inhabited part of France that isn't divided into communes.
