Indeed,the five overseas regions have exactly the same administrative status as the metropolitan regions while the five overseas collectivities are semi-autonomous and New Caledonia is an autonomous territory. Overseas France includes island territories in the Atlantic,Pacific and Indian Oceans,French Guiana on the South American continent,and several 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,overseas France covers a land area of 119,396 km2 (46,099 sq mi) and accounts for 18.0% of the French Republic's land territory.
