Micronesia

At a Glance

Micronesia is a Pacific island nation scattered across millions of square kilometres of ocean, with a culture centred on traditional navigation, deep-sea fishing, and island community life. The diving around Chuuk Lagoon, with its Second World War shipwrecks, is among the most famous in the world. It suits those who come specifically for diving or those drawn to the genuine remoteness of island cultures that operate largely outside global tourism.

• 607 islands spread across an ocean area the size of the continental US.
• Citizens have free movement rights to live and work in the United States.
