Federated States of Micronesia (FSM)

Federated States of Micronesia - Breadfruit

Micronesia is not somewhere you go every day, but for my globetrotting pal, Ros, it's all part of her plan for world domination.

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is a Pacific island nation comprising four states: Yap, Chuuk, Kosrae, and Pohnpei. With a population of around 113,000, it's known for its diverse cultures, languages, and traditions. The FSM features stunning marine biodiversity, including coral reefs and diverse marine life. The country has a tropical climate and relies heavily on fishing and agriculture. Its capital is Palikir, located on Pohnpei Island. Rich in history, the FSM was a UN Trust Territory administered by the US before gaining independence in 1986. Its scenic beauty and heritage attract tourists worldwide.
