Some,but not all,are part of the European Union. "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 regions have exactly the same administrative status as the metropolitan regions;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 120,396 km2 (46,485 sq mi) and accounts for 18.0% of the French Republic's land territory. Its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 9,825,538 km2 (3,793,661 sq mi) accounts for 96.7% of the EEZ of the French Republic.
