Micronesian region

Micronesia is a region in the western Pacific Ocean composed of thousands of small islands grouped into several countries and territories. It includes nations like the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, and the Marshall Islands. The region is known for its diverse island landscapes, rich maritime culture, and strategic location. Micronesia has a mix of traditional practices and modern influences, with economies largely based on fishing, agriculture, and tourism. Historically, many islands were under the control of colonial powers such as Spain, Germany, and the United States. Today, Micronesia plays an important role in Pacific regional affairs and international cooperation.
