Como su nombre lo indica, Micronesia es una federación compuesta por cuatro estados: Chuuk, Kosrae, Ponhpei y Yap. Todos se componen de una isla principal y atolones periféricos. Tiene una población estimada de 104 mil habitantes.
Micronesia es un país soberano, pero tiene acuerdos de "asociación" con los Estados Unidos (de quien fuera un "territorio en fideicomiso" hasta 1979) relativo sobre todo a los aspectos militares. Por ende, la influencia estadounidense en su sistema político es bastante elevada.
A few interesting tidbits about #US and #Japanese security engagement with The Federated States of #Micronesia (#FSM) in the recent @POTFSM State of the Nation Address.

This retraction by @AlJazeera actually raises more questions than answers, and to my mind at least, brings to the fore, the fact that our Federal Republic of Anyhowness, has gone global...
Yesterday, asides @AlJazeera_World, other news outlets, including the Twitter only news outlet, @spectatorindex said that #Nigeria's ambassador had attended the opening of the American Embassy in #Jerusalem.
Isreali outlets such at @TimesofIsrael and @HamodiaIL also ran with the news. @haaretzcom actually went so far as to publish an infograph that included #Nigeria's name as one of the country's "celebrating with them" on the grand new opening...
