<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;Try Wallis & Futuna.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Certain islands in French Polynesia might be further from Paris than Wallis <br/>
and Futana. In addition, Pitcairn Island might also be further from London<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;Diego Garcia, too, has a quite a local government in pace, which surprises <br/>
&gt;me that anyone suggests it is governed solely from the homeland<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Unlike most of the other British Overseas Territories, BIOT is administered <br/>
directly by a Commissioner in London. Of course, there is a local <br/>
administrator, but he/she only has the powers of a magistrate rather than <br/>
as a governor.<br/>
