Explanation:

New France was a colony and more precisely a viceroyalty of the kingdom of France, located in North America. It was part of the first French colonial empire and its capital was Quebec. It was first a colony administered by colonial companies, then a colony under the royal government of the Sovereign Council.

The territory of New France consisted of the following colonies: Acadia, Canada, and Louisiana. At its peak, it included the St. Lawrence River, Great Lakes and Mississippi watershed, northern La Prairie, and much of the Labrador Peninsula.
