Izindawo ezingaphesheya kwezilwandle iFrench Polynesia, ebizwa nge "French Polynesia" (Polynésie française), eyaziwa nangokuthi yiTahiti. Kuyindawo engazibusisi yeNhlangano Yezizwe, etholakala eningizimu-mpumalanga yePacific Ocean, ibheke iziQhingi zaseCook entshonalanga kanye neLine Islands ngasenyakatho ntshonalanga. Iqukethe iziqhingi eziyi-118 ezibandakanya iSociety Islands, iTuamotu Islands, iGambier Islands, iTubuai Islands, neMarquesas Islands, phakathi kwazo iTahiti inkulu kunazo zonke eSociety Islands. Le ndawo ingamakhilomitha-skwele angama-4167, indawo okungahlalwa kuyo ingamakhilomitha-skwele angama-3521. Inani labantu liphela ngama-275,918 (2017)

IFrench Polynesia itholakala eningizimu-mpumalanga yePacific Ocean. Iqukethe iziqhingi eziyi-118 ezibandakanya iSociety Islands, iTuamotu Islands, iGambier Islands, iTubuai Islands, neMarquesas Islands, okukhona kuzo iziqhingi ezingama-76, kanti iSociety Islands yizona ziqhingi eziyinhloko. Phakathi kwazo, iTahiti (ebuye ihunyushwe ngokuthi "iTahiti") isiqhingi esikhulu kunazo zonke eFrench Polynesia. Lesi siqhingi sinezintaba kanti isiqongo esiphakeme kunazo zonke, i-Orohena, singamamitha angama-2241 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle. [4]  

I-French Polynesia inesimo sezulu esishisayo sehlathi lemvula. Isikhathi sonyaka owomile sivela ngoMeyi kuya ku-Okthoba kanti isikhathi semvula sisuka kuNovemba kuya ku-Ephreli. Izinga lokushisa eliphakathi nonyaka lingu-24-31 ° C, kanti imvula emaphakathi yonyaka ingu-1,625 mm. Uhlaselwe yiziphepho kaningi emlandweni.

IFrench Polynesia ihlukaniswe izifunda zokuphatha ezi-5, nezifunda zokuphatha zehlukaniswe ngomasipala abangama-48. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kukhona iClipperton Island enamathiselwe eFrench Polynesia. Izifunda ezinhlanu zokuphatha yilezi: Windward Islands, Leeward Islands, Marquesas Islands, Southern Islands, Tuamotu-Gambier.

Abantu abangama-275,918 (2017), iningi labo bangamaPolynesia, kanti abanye bangamaBo-European, European, Chinese, njll. Ulimi olusemthethweni isiFulentshi, futhi izilimi zendawo zifaka isiTahiti, isiMarxas, isiTuamotu, njll. Cishe izakhamuzi ezingama-38% zikholelwa kubuRoma Katolika, cishe ama-38% akholelwa ebuKristwini bamaProthestani, cishe ama-6.5% akholelwa kuMormonism, kanti cishe ama-5.8% akholelwa kuma-Adventist.

IFrench Polynesia ingumnotho wesihlanu ngobukhulu e-Oceania ngemuva kwe-Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii neFrance New Caledonia. Umnotho wendabuko uphethwe ezolimo, isisekelo sezimboni asibuthaka, kanti ezokuvakasha seziphenduke insika enkulu yezomnotho. Kusukela ngo-1966, ngenxa yezivivinyo zenuzi zaseFrance eSouth Pacific kanye nenani elikhulayo lamasosha amiswe ePoland, izimboni zokwakha nezinsizakalo zithuthuke ngokushesha.Inani elikhulu lezisebenzi zakwamanye amazwe selikhuthele eTahiti, labhubhisa umnotho wezolimo owawuzimela ngokwanele. . Ukutshalwa kwezimali isikhathi eside kwezolimo kwehlile, kuguqula ukuthunyelwa kwezolimo kwamanye amazwe kube ukungenisa kwamanye amazwe.Kucishe kudliwe ama-80% okudla okulethwa kwamanye amazwe.Izinto ezithunyelwa ngaphandle yiCopra zehle kakhulu ngenxa yamanani aphansi ezimakethe zomhlaba. Njalo ngonyaka, uhulumeni waseFrance uhlinzeka ngosizo lokuxhasa ukulahleka kwezezimali. Ngo-1995, iFrance nePolynesia bafinyelela esivumelwaneni.Kusukela ngo-1996 kuya ku-2006, iFrance izonikela ngama-franc asePacific angama-28.3 billion unyaka ngamunye; futhi ekuqaleni kuka-1996, ekugcineni ukuhlolwa kwenuzi kwaphela. Isivumelwano kulindeleke ukuthi sigqugquzele iPolynesia ukuthi ithuthukise umnotho ohlukahlukene futhi iqinise ukuthambekela kwayo kokunamathela kwinkululeko isikhathi eside. Ukwengeza imali engenayo yezezimali, uhulumeni wamemezela ukuqaliswa kwentela eyengezwe ngenani ngo-Okthoba 1997. IPoland iyilungu loMphakathi wasePacific futhi ithole usizo, ukuholwa ngobuchwepheshe nokuqeqeshwa okuvela emphakathini maqondana nokuthuthuka kwezomnotho, ezamasiko nezenhlalo. Uhulumeni wasePoland usebenza kanzima ukuthuthukisa ubudlelwano obusondelene bezomnotho kanye nezohwebo namazwe ase-Asia nasePacific ukukhuthaza amandla akhe okuthumela ngaphandle. Ukukhula komnotho ePoland ikakhulu kule mboni yezinsizakalo kanye nezimboni ezihlobene nezokuvakasha.Izimboni ezimbili zidale amathuba emisebenzi amaningi ePoland. Ukukhiqizwa kwe-noni esiqhingini saseTahiti ePoland kubalwa ngaphezu kwama-80% womkhiqizo ophelele womhlaba.Mayelana nama-95% womkhiqizo we-noni womhlaba uvela eziqhingini zaseTahiti. Imboni yokulima yamaparele yasePoland ikhule kancane, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yomthelela wokwehla komnotho waseJapan, okungukungenisa okukhulu kwamapharele amnyama. Umnotho wasePoland uqhubeke nokukhula ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1990, wakhula ngo-6.2% ngo-1998, u-4% ngo-1999, no-4% ngo-2000. Ukukhula komnotho ePoland ikakhulu kungenxa yokuxhaswa kweFrance ngezezimali kanye nokuthuthukiswa komkhakha wezokuvakasha wasePoland.
