Federated States of Micronesia

Spanning nearly 2,700 kilometers across the western Pacific north of the equator, the nation comprises 607 islands with a total land area of approximately 702 square kilometers, while its vast exclusive economic zone covers roughly 3 million square kilometers of ocean. The country's economy, driven by a population of over 104,000, relies heavily on its status as a UN member under a Compact of Free Association with the United States, which facilitates trade and development. With a GDP per capita estimated at $4,768 in 2025 and a Human Development Index of 0.634, the nation maintains a strong focus on sustainable growth through its four distinct states of Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae.
