Occupying a very small total land mass, it is scattered over an ocean expanse five times the size of France. OVERVIEW FACTS LEADERS MEDIA Though formally independent, in 1986 Micronesia signed a "Compact of Free Association" with the United States. Under this, Washington assumed responsibility for defence until 2001, including the right to establish military bases and deny other nations access to Micronesia. In return, Micronesia received financial assistance averaging $100m per year, and the right of Micronesians to live and work in the US.Micronesia also takes its cue from Washington on foreign policy. A renegotiated 20-year compact, worth $1.8 billion over 20 years, was presented to Washington decision-makers in 2003. Despite its small population and the large amount of incoming aid from the US, Japan and elsewhere, Micronesia suffers from relatively high unemployment, a matter compounded by increasing numbers of Filipino migrant workers.

In 1983, the Marshall Islands assembly (the Nitijela ) agreed the Compact of Free Association with the US government, which set down the terms under which the Marshall Islands would become a sovereign self-governing nation. The USA retained responsibility for the defence and security of the islands, also setting down guidelines for the conduct of the Marshalls’ future foreign policy. US$30 million annual aid has been provided by Washington, in exchange for the continued use of existing military bases. (The original 15-year period covering that part of the agreement was extended. A new Compact came into force in September 2003). The Marshalls now belong to the South Pacific Forum, the main regional grouping, and in 1991 were admitted to the UN. Government: Under the terms of the constitution, which came into effect in May 1979, the Marshalls have a parliamentary system of government in which legislative authority is vested in the 33-member

Micronesia's Education for Self-Government: Frolicking in the Backyard? Francis X. Hezel, SJ MicSem Articles economic Recent political education efforts in Micronesia are floating on a sea of radio tapes, filmstrips, posters and classroom lessons. These are largely the creation of the Education for Self-Government Program mounted by the Trust Territory Administration a year and a half ago. For all its output of materials, the ESG Program labors under serious handicaps. The controversial circumstances surrounding the birth of ESG gave rise to the lurking suspicion that, despite its name, the real object of ESG just might be something less than self-government after all. Many people continued to wonder whether the contents of the program were being "sanitized" by mightier powers than those residing on Saipan. The ESG task forces on the territory-wide and district levels have lived under this cloud from the very beginning. To make matters worse, it has become fashionable to hold them responsible for any and all failures in the area of political education. Whenever an outer-islander complains to his congressman that he does not know what the status alternatives are all about, ESG takes it on the chin. ESG has become everybody's scapegoat today because it is assumed that it is the major instrument of political education in the Trust Territory. Actually ESG has very little to do with political education and even less to do with authentic education for self-government, as I will try to show. It is, therefore, unfair to blame ESG members, who are performing as well as they can in trying circumstances, for the supposedly meager amount of political education that is taking place today.

Français Español GetLangMenu("en") Print Version Home Newsroom WTDC-02 Statement by the Government of the Federated States of Micronesia at the WTDC-02 Statement by Ms Sharon Jahn Government of the Federated States of Micronesia Tuesday,19 March 2002 Taking Advantage of the Opportunities Provided by New Information Technologies Mr. Chairman, Mr. Secretary General, Excellencies, Distinguished Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen: The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is a remote island nation consisting of many island communities scattered widely across 2700 kilometers in the Pacific. Isolation, distance, and a small resource base pose challenges that make it difficult for the nation to develop and prosper. However, telecommunications can act as a conduit for opportunity if there is modern information and communications technology infrastructure and broadband connectivity in place. The most critical issue facing the Federated States of Micronesia is the provision of sufficient connectivity to the international community. The FSM’s small and developing economy relies heavily on international trade yet limited on-island resources and difficulties accessing global markets place local industries at a disadvantage to operate and compete. However, by expanding global connectivity, access can be improved and applications (such as on-line, interactive, and broadband) can be implemented to help FSM leverage limited domestic resources. We are optimistic that soon this will be possible. The FSM is talking to submarine fiber optic cable consortiums about deploying a branching unit to connect to an international submarine fiber optic network. Fiber optic cable consortiums run their cables around and through Pacific Island Nations, often without giving small countries the opportunity to connect. This lack of opportunity is mainly due to a general lack of awareness regarding our country, its needs, and its financial capabilities, combined with the cable industry’s rush to serve large, densely populated regions. The result is an unfortunate case of bypass. Currently, the FSM, like the vast majority of the Pacific Island Countries, is left to use narrowband satellite technology to communicate with the world and frequently this means using multiple satellite hops.
