Wallis-et-Futuna A group of Pacific islands between Tuvalu, American Samoa, and Fiji. Under French colonial rule since 1842, it became an Overseas Territory with limited rights of self-government in 1961. Since then, it has sent one representative to the French National Assembly, and one to the Senate, while internal matters have been largely settled by its indigenous kings.
