This French-owned island nation is having an independence referendum later this year.
What are your thoughts? Should New Caledonia vote for liberation from France?

Literally whats the point?

être libre et merde
New Caledonia, Norfolk Island, Lord Howe Island, and Macquarie Island should unite with New Zealand to create ZEALANDIA
Hopefully they declare independence, then they can be absorbed into the Australian sphere of influence.
yeah godspeed to them
What for? Build refugee centers, there?
I for one support the creation of new flags.
Dank flag creation is worth balkanization alone
You already are on the hook for bailing out a lot of Pacific territories, do you really want more dependent on you?
What's happening there?
Typhoon relief operation... Kiwis do a lot of rescue and aid work
This is their flag
Do they resettle them in NZ?
>Australian sphere of influence
They're sitting on one of the world's largest nickel deposits
what is nickel used for
They're on our continent, they rightfully belong to us
They already have their own flag. There used to be a New Caledonian who posted on Sup Forums but he moved to Dunedin
We basically own most of the pacific Islands. It's why we're considered a regional power. It's not that significant but there's strategic value
>tfw could literally drive two hours north and then across a bridge and basically be a new continent if Zealandia was real
instead it's a two hour flight and even then i'm in fuckign auckland
Nah, America owns the Pacific Islands. Your Navy is total shit, and your "special forces" are on par with the French, that is to say, complete shit.
There was guy from there some time ago that posted here
Also yes so we can piss on frances EEZ
The Pacific Islands really don't trust yanks. Honestly NZ is more respected by pacific islanders for standing up against nuclear weapons testing while australia failed to show any leadership in the region whatsoever
Was he a real New Caledonian? Or just expatriate?
What strategic value do they hold for you?
groovy flag.
Why are there so many Pacific Islanders in NZ as opposed to Australia?
test
Because Australia has always been more concerned with Asia than the pacific
Chinese Protectorate of Australia and Pacifc NZ when?
You'd need to genocide all the Australians and New Zealanders first
Why not just become the new majority?
>ey bru why do you like nu zulund oover ostralia
>oh they didn't blew up a nooke bru
>chur
wow, five whole cents
Yes, and French Polynesia should do the same
Is that to scale?
yeah
Didn't know the islands were so big desu
Won't happen, the goverment has encouraged french people to go settle there since 1950 to prevent them from voting to leave.
how does one move to this paradise
good. I wish them the best, no matter what the result is.
Spain should learn from France how to handle democracy.
>tfw Kanaks (the original Melanesian islanders) are now only 39% of the population while 36% are white French and the rest Polynesians, Arabs and Indonesians
Not fair desu
Stop disrepecting our beloved special forces
>Spain
>Not Third World in disguise
>australian relevance
Btw, do you know if there's any independence movement in French Polynesia like in NC?
When NC will say yes to stay, Macron will launch a process to put euro currency in all Polynesia and NC region. So no.
No, fuck you. Fascism is the way. Kill all of those separaniggers
What is Euro's role in this?
What do you mean ? Macron just wants to put the same money in this region because for the moment, the current currency is unfair for them.
Okay
>tfw New Caledonia and French Polynesia will never be independent
If New Caledonia did become independent they'd be off France's tit and onto Australias
he was real, he'd post pictures of local shit and troll french posters because he wanted the island to come under australian administration
Was he white French?
>Another fucking island nation
NC is the only french overseas territory that is actually financially self-sustaining, due to its mines.
yes, the only native person i've ever seen post on Sup Forums that actually lived in one of these islands was guam girl
What's wrong with that?
Is the wealth equally distributed across New Caledonia? Or do French own everything? I saw on wiki that it's kinda close to New Zealand on GDP per capita
Part of France, they will stay at 99,99%
I've never seen any flag from the Pacific Islands desu, except PNG but he was an Australian
>Is the wealth equally distributed across New Caledonia? Or do French own everything?
The french own nearly everything.
99.9% of french new caledonians work in australia teaching french or becoming tv chefs
So what about the Kanaks and Polynesians? Are they all poor?
Do Australians ever visit NC? I guess, it must be interesting to have a piece of France so close
>So what about the Kanaks and Polynesians? Are they all poor?
Not always, but all the mines and most of the services are owned by the french, french companies or the french state.
Do you ever get Kanaks or Polynesians in mainland France? Or just like native people from the overseas territories in general?

>comparing a fundational part of the country with some colony in the Pacific
Viking IQ. Do you think France will allow a referendum in Bretagne, Pays Basque, Occitania, etc.? Lol.
We allowed a referendum in Alsace, 90% voted stay and against more autonomy.
you should just have force assimilated them before the 20th century, now it's to late.
>Thinks he's first world
>Doesnt know how to handle seperatist movements despite various countries prior shutting them down
We gave Quebec 2 and since 1995 more and more young Quebecois are identifying as Canadian first.
Just balkanize already you dont know how to run anything
>what was quebec independence referendum
>what was scottish independence referendum
4/10 made me reply
Why do you want them to be independent?
You have to have 20 years of proven residency in New Caledonia to get voting rights for the referendum.
sending GIGN?

well, in the end, it led to the Matignon's treaty, which led to this referendum, so maybe it's the way after all...
