The New Caledonian Independence was an agreement made by France and New Caledonia to become an independent state. The agreement, made in February 2031 by French president Francis Berien gave New Caledonia the right of independence.
Meetings and Arguments[]
In a referendum before the agreement, many politicians did not agree with the independence and would not let New Caledonia become independent but the President thought that New Caledonia 'was nothing to France, and would be stable without the French assisting them'. The country however was not given independence. Later that year a party in New Caledonia revolted against this and another referendum took place. The President said to the Caledonians "If you wish to be independent you will no longer get funding from the French or Monaco governments". This soon lead to the leader of the party to meet up with the President in Paris. After a seven hour meeting the President of France came to the conclusion that New Caledonia is to be allowed to have independence.
