This is not one of the 191 UN listed countries. Tahiti is the largest island in French Polynesia an area considered to be an overseas country of France. A popular area that everyone knows is Bora Bora. Moorea had such a laid back vibe. It was truly island living. Not too much going on, just rest and relaxation. Papeete was more like a city, lots of traffic, people moving around and places to go.
