Micronesia means 'small islands' and is derived from the Greek words mikros
which means small and nesos which means island. This is a perfect way to
describe these over two thousand tropical islands scattered across the heart
of the Pacific Ocean between Hawai'i and the Philippines. They are spread
over a great distance, yet each has its own culture, history, customs, rituals,
myths and legends, lifestyle and topographical personality.

Travel Guide - Micronesia
Spread across 2,500 kilometers of the Western Central Pacific Ocean, just
north of the equator, the five states of Chuuk, Kosrae, Mostakia, Pohnpei
and Yap and their 607 islands (only 65 are inhabited) form the Federated
States of Micronesia.

Where men flaunt their loincloths and stone coins still have currency. Despite
being firmly tied to the USA's economic and political apron strings, the
Federated States of Micronesia are doggedly hanging onto their traditional
ways.
