About Micronesia

The Federated States of Micronesia sprinkles more than 600 islands across a vast sweep of the western Pacific, grouped into four states: Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. The capital, Palikir, sits on lush, mountainous Pohnpei. From Yap's famous stone money to the ruined islet-city of Nan Madol, the nation pairs deep seafaring traditions with some of the Pacific's most storied archaeology.

• ·On Yap in Micronesia, giant stone discs called rai served as money — some so large that ownership changed hands without the stones ever moving.
• ·Nan Madol, a ruined city built on more than 90 artificial islets off Pohnpei, is nicknamed the 'Venice of the Pacific.'
• ·Chuuk Lagoon in Micronesia shelters dozens of World War II shipwrecks, making it one of the world's most celebrated wreck-diving sites.
