New Caledonia

New Caledonia is a collectivity sui generis of France (a unique status to New Caledonia alone), in the South Pacific. Officially, "La Marseillaise" is used as the national anthem; while New Caledonia has more autonomy than French overseas departments (almost as much as the "overseas country" of French Polynesia), it does not have a separate anthem, nor is there reportedly a local anthem on the island, however, as part of the Nouema accord, which gave New Caledonia this unique status, says that the "country’s identity signs ­ name, flag, anthem, design of bank notes ­ will need to be devised in common to express both the Kanak identity and the future in which all will share". (It is assumed that this is to refer to the French collectivity and not necessarily a future independent New Caledonia, if one were to exist later.)
