Melanesia
Pohnpei is an island in the Pacific Ocean and is one of the four states of the Federated States of Micronesia. It is located in the western Pacific region known as Micronesia.
The island that lies north of Melanesia is Micronesia, an island region in the western Pacific Ocean. Micronesia is composed of thousands of small islands and is divided into several countries, including the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, and the Marshall Islands.
To the best of my knowledge, NO! Both countries are part of the region called "Micronesia," but "Micronesia" is not a country/state/nation, just a region. However, the "Federated States of Micronesia" IS a state/country, as is Palau. Two DIFFERENT countries to be exact. I think an similar example is how Canada is part of (North) America, yet it is definitely NOT part of the United States of America.
Micronesia is a string of small islands in the Western Pacific Ocean north of New Guinea. It is not a part of any continent, but is part of the region of Oceania.

In 1898, the United States gained control over several territories in the Pacific as a result of the Spanish-American War. While the U.S. did not directly acquire Micronesia, it took control of Guam, which is part of the region. The broader control over Micronesia came later, particularly after World War I when Germany's territories were ceded to Japan, and then after World War II when the U.S. administered the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, which included parts of Micronesia. Thus, while the U.S. influence in Micronesia began in 1898, full control developed in the following decades.
