Economy
The FSM government consists of three separate branches: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. However, operating very autonomous states, many governmental functions are carried out by the State governments. The Federated States have a very small commercial fishing industry. A push to re-address economic development is taking place, and leaders are exploring what economic development should look like in Micronesia.
Culture
Each of the four states of FSM have their own distinct culture and tradition though similarities including the importance of the Christian church, the traditional extended family and the matrilineal social structure.
Ethnic ancestors of Micronesian include early settlers from Melanesia, Polynesia, and Malaysia. Apart from the Micronesians other inhabitants include people of European, Japanese, and American decent. Read our privacy and freedom of information policies.

Detailed information on the Micronesian nation of palau including the history, geography and the people.

PALAU A spectacular 400 mile long strand of pearls laid across blue sea best describes this jewel of the Pacific. Made of limestone coral reefs lifted above sea level and undercut by ocean currents which over time have notched the basis so that from the air they look like giant mushrooms, the Republic of Palau is truly nature at its most majestic. The tightly clustered Palau archipelago consists of the high islands of Babeldaob, Koror, Peleliu and Angaur in the south, the low coral atolls of Kayangel to the north east and Ngeruangel and the limestone rock islands of which there are more than 200. Apart from Kayangel, Ngeruangel and Angaur all the islands are inside a single barrier reef. Only eight islands are inhabited, for the entire population is 17,235 with the majority of them living in the provisional capital of Koror. There are an additional 2,500 foreigners mostly Filipino labourers. The Spaniards named the group Los Palos (the native name is Belau) and laid claim to them in 1898, selling them to Germany a year later. In 1946, Palau became one of the trust territories of the Pacific islands under the governance of the U.S.A. In 1994, it gained its independence and was admitted to the United Nations as its 185th member. The island group is divided into 16 states each maintaining the traditional clan system with English and Palauan the official languages. The people are warm, hospitable and generous and though they look more American than other Micronesians they continue to follow their old matrilineal culture.

Palau
Introduction [Top of Page] Background: After three decades as part of the UN Trust Territory of the Pacific under US administration, this westernmost cluster of the Caroline Islands opted for independent status in 1978 rather than join the Federated States of Micronesia. A Compact of Free Association with the US was approved in 1986, but not ratified until 1993. It entered into force the following year when the islands gained their independence.
