FROM THE TRAVEL GUIDE · Federated States of Micronesia
The Federated States of Micronesia is a country in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, composed of four major island groups just north of the equator.
Landscape & landmarks
The ruined city of Nan Madol on Pohnpei is a true highlight and the site of ancient rituals, politics, and royal dwellings of the Saudeleur dynasty. It's a collection of 92 man-made islets connected with tidal canals, which gained it the obvious name of Venice of the Pacific. It's a magnificent archeological attraction, covering 18km2 partly reclaimed by nature.Read the see section ↗
