The two main islands are Futuna and Alofi, with Futuna being the larger and more populated. The islands are known for their lush landscapes, traditional Polynesian culture, and small villages. The economy of the Futuna Islands is primarily based on subsistence agriculture and fishing. The islands have a tropical climate, which supports a variety of plant and animal life. The local population practices a mix of traditional beliefs and Catholicism, reflecting the islands' historical connections with European missionaries.
