Uvea, Customary kingdom in Wallis and Futuna, France.
Uvea encompasses the entire Wallis Island and its surrounding islets, covering 159 square kilometers in the South Pacific Ocean between Fiji and Samoa.
The first inhabitants of Uvea arrived around 850 BCE, establishing settlements characterized by Lapita culture artifacts before becoming part of the Tui Tonga empire.
The territory operates under a constitutional monarchy with a king called Lavelua, supported by a prime minister and ministers who influence local decisions.
The kingdom divides into three administrative districts - Hihifo with 1,942 residents, Hahake with 3,415 residents, and Mua with 2,976 inhabitants.
Three crater lakes provide essential freshwater resources to the territory, with Lake Lalolalo standing as one of the largest freshwater reservoirs in the Pacific.
