<div id="ygrps-yiv-1747126281"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt; Certain islands in French Polynesia might be further from <br/>
 </span></blockquote>Paris than Wallis <br/>

<br/>
 </span></blockquote>the extremities of the french polynesia group are indeed farther <br/>
from paris than the extremities of the wallis & futuna group<br/>
<br/>
but the extremities of the new caledonia group are farther still<br/>
<br/>
the southeasternmost of these<br/>
possibly named ile ami <br/>
comes in at about 9090 nautical miles from paris<br/>
& is the apparent global dry land winner<br/>
<br/>
however hunter island <br/>
some distance farther east from there<br/>
tho coming in at fully 9133 nautical miles from paris<br/>
gets an asterisk because it is also claimed by vanuatu<br/>
<br/>
& add a dozen more nautical miles to each of those numbers<br/>
to get to the outer limits of the territorial sea<br/>
for the plain wet & asterisked wet versions respectively <br/>
of the absolutely farthest known point from its national capital<br/>
