English: This is a translation from esperanto (by
Hoshie) into English of
User:Manchot sanguinaire's map of French Overseas départements, regions, collectivités, and territories, which is at
Image:Outre-mer eo.png. The translations of the names into English are the names used in the
CIA World Factbook. I also also added the five Îles Éparses that surround Madagascar. The source for their placement on the map is
the CIA Factbook map of the area, which is here on Commons at

The placement of Adélie Land in Antarctica, based upon Image:Antarctica territorial claims.png by User:Astrokey44, has been removed by User:Aldeby since many nations claim Antarctica but it is not on their maps. Also, claimed territory is not territory as stated by User:Zulu, King Of The Dwarf People. Antarctica has been declared internationalised by the Washington Treaty signed Dec 1st, 1959 in whose article 4 is stated that signing countries (among whom there was France) "do not recognize, dispute, or establish territorial sovereignty claims and no new claims shall be asserted while the treaty is in force". This treaty officially entered into force on June 23, 1961. Later, the United Nations with General Assembly resolution 40/156 of Jan 21, 1986 declared Antarctica a world heritage site.
Since the original map is GFDL, this one is too.
