Tahiti, the largest and most populated island in the Windward group of French Polynesia, is located in the southern Pacific Ocean. Tahiti is a French territory and Tahitians are French citizens with almost the same civil and political rights as those living in France. However, because they are semi-autonomous, they have their own President, laws, and financial system. France provides subsidies, education and security to the country.
