    		I agree, that while not an independent nation, the South Pacific territory has the characteristics of a country.

    On a trivial note, much of the province of British Columbia, Canada, was once also known as New Caledonia (Queen Victoria chose another name to avoid confusion): http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/articles/new-caledonia.

    		No. It is not a country. It is a territory of France.
