New Caledonia
(French: officially: Nouvelle-Calédonie; colloquially: (la)
Calédonie; popular nickname: (le) Caillou), has a special status
of sui generis collectivity of France. It is located in the
subregion of Melanesia in the southwest Pacific. It
comprises a main island (Grande Terre), the Loyalty Islands, and
several smaller islands. Approximately half the size of Taiwan, it has
a land area of 18,575.5 square kilometres (7,172 sq mi). The population
was estimated in January 2009 to be 249,000. The capital and largest
city of the territory is Nouméa. The currency is the CFP
franc.New Caledonia was made a French possession in late 1853, a part
of an attempt by Napoleon III to rival the British colonies in
Australia and New Zealand. Auguste Febvrier Despointes led the
expedition that seized the island. Following the example set by the
United Kingdom in parts of nearby Australia, France sent a total of
22,000 convicted felons to penal colonies along the south-west coast of
New Caledonia between 1864 and 1922. This number included regular
criminals as well as political prisoners such as Parisian socialists
and Kabyle nationalists. Towards the end of the penal colony era, free
European settlers (including former convicts) and Asian contract
workers by far outnumbered the population of forced workers. The
indigenous Kanak populations declined drastically in that same period
due to introduced diseases and an apartheid-like system called Code de
l'Indigénat which imposed severe restrictions on their
livelihood, freedom of movement and land ownership.These charts were
done at this time of development
