Why is Tahiti and Nouvelle Caledonie missing from this list?

Question

Accepted Answer

Hi Kay, 
As Maarten says under the title it does say that this is some of the list of French-speaking countries and not the full list.
 If you are interested in knowing more, you will find the info on the following website -

Incidentally, Tahiti is an island which is part of French Polynesia.
Bonne Continuation!

Answer

2 possible reasons I can think of: 1) it is an incomplete list, as it notes, and 2) neither French Polynesia nor New Caledonia are independent countries.
