The Collectivity of Polynesia (Ho'ero: Koletiwiti o Polinetia), commonly known as Polynesia, is a sovereign state located in Oceania. The nation is formed by several islands and archipelagos that spans towards the entire Pacific Ocean. The country is 3,512 kilometres away from the nearest point in South America (in Chile), and about 2,000 kilometres from the northeast of New Zealand.

Between about 3000 and 1000 BCE speakers of Austronesian languages began spreading from Taiwan into Island Southeast Asia. Between the 1200 and 1500, the Tu'i Tongan Empire reached its peak in the Pacific Ocean. In 1810, the Hawaiian Kingdom was unified when Kamehameha the Great conquered the whole Hawaiian archipelago. During the 18th and 20th centuries, happened the colonization of the Pacific Ocean, while the Hawaiian Monarchy suffered a coup d'état attempt, but remaining independent after a series of battles against the Committee of Safety.

The first mention of an eventual unification of Polynesia happened after the First World War, when most archipelagos in the Pacific Ocean became League of Nations mandates. With the end of the Second World War, major global powers reunited with the few independent dominions and nations in the Oceania (such as Hawaii) to unify under the Polynesian banner. The union was approved peacefully by the League of Nations and became effective in 1947. Initially, Hawaiian became the most spoken language in the Collectivity, as a method for integration, but eventually, the creole language of Ho'ero was formed and quickly surpassed Hawaiian as the lingua franca. Ho' came from hou, which means "new", and ero came from ʻōlelo, which means "language", both in Hawaiian, "new language". Though Ho'ero and Hawaiian are the most spoken languages, English is often used for foreign relations.

Polynesia is considered a semi-presidential confederation, sometimes regarded as a, non-socialist, people's democracy. It has a bicameral legislature and also several subnational monarchies (such as in Hawaii and Tonga). The country is a member of the Society of Nations, World Bank, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, and the Pacific Islands Forum. Polynesia has a population of over four million people, which more than 20% are formed by immigrants. It is considered an advanced emerging economy, considered an emerging great power due to its territory and economy. One of the main economic activities in the country is tourism and agriculture.
