The following
outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Micronesia:
The
Federated States of Micronesia –
island nation located in the
North Pacific Ocean , north of
Papua New Guinea .
[1] The country is a
sovereign state in
free association with the
United States . The Federated States of Micronesia were formerly part of the
Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands , a
United Nations Trust Territory under US administration. In 1979 they adopted a
constitution , and in 1986 independence was attained under a
Compact of Free Association with the United States. Present concerns include large-scale unemployment, overfishing, and dependence on U.S. aid. The Federated States of Micronesia are located in the region known as
Micronesia , which consists of hundreds of small
islands divided in seven
territories . The term Micronesia may refer to the Federated States or to the region as a whole, even though the lack of a central government makes it a sovereign group of states, not a
country .
