Between 1946 and 2003, French Polynesia had the status of an overseas territory (''{{lang|fr|[[territoire d'outre-mer]]}}'', or ''TOM''). In 2003, it became an overseas collectivity (''{{lang|fr|[[collectivité d'outre-mer]]}}'', or COM). Its statutory law of 27 February 2004 gives it the particular designation of ''[[overseas country of France|overseas country inside the Republic]]'' (''{{lang|fr|pays d'outre-mer au sein de la République}}'', or POM), but without legal modification of its status.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/law/research/publications/about-nzacl/publications/special-issues/hors-serie-volume-x,-2010/Moyrand-And-Angelo.pdf |chapter=Administrative Regimes of French Overseas Territories: New Caledonia and French Polynesia |last1=Angelo |first1=Tony |last2=Moyrand |first2=A |title=Governance and Selfreliance in Pacific Island Societies: Comparative Studies (Gouvernance et autonomie dans les sociétés du Pacifique Sud: Etudes comparés) |editor-last1=Angelo |editor-first1=Tony |editor-last2=Sage |editor-first2=Yves-Louis |publisher=Revue Juridique Polynesienne |year=2010 |page=202 |access-date=24 January 2021 |archive-date=24 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220124050107/https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/law/research/publications/about-nzacl/publications/special-issues/hors-serie-volume-x,-2010/Moyrand-And-Angelo.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
