Are the Micronesia Islands right for you?
Micronesia is a subregion of Oceania, comprising hundreds of small islands in the Pacific Ocean. The Philippines lie to the northwest, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Melanesia to the west and southwest, and Polynesia to the east.
Population
Micronesia has a population of approximately 108,000.
Political Structure
Constitutional government in free association with the United States since Nov. 1986.
Infrastructure and Economy
Economic activity of Micronesia consists primarily of subsistence agriculture and fishing. The islands have few mineral deposits worth exploiting, except for high-grade phosphate. The potential for a tourist industry exists, but the remoteness of the location and a lack of adequate facilities hinder development. Financial assistance from the US is the primary source of revenue, with the US pledged to spend $1.3 billion in the islands in 1986-2001. Geographical isolation and a poorly developed infrastructure are major impediments to long-term growth.
Language
The primary languages are English (official, common), Chukese, Pohnpeian, Yapase, Kosrean, Ulithian, Woleaian, Nukuoro and Kapingamarangi.
Currency
Legal tender in the Micronesia Islands is the United States dollar.
Law
Based on adapted Trust Territory laws, acts of the legislature, municipal, common, and customary laws.
