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.

Is Palau in micronesia?
Yes, geographically speaking, Palau(Belau) is in the Micronesian Archipelago therefore making it part of Micronesia. However, politically, the Republic of Palau is a sovereign country under the "Compact of Free Association" with the United States of America and is independent of the politically unified island states of Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae that comprise the Federated States of Micronesia also commonly referred to politically as, yes you guessed it, "Micronesia". So maybe a better answer is, "Palau, and the Marshalls(RMI) for that matter, are in Micronesia and is debate-able depending upon who you ask and what mood they are in". So as the Micronesian saying goes, in one form or another, "....the ocean does not separate us, but rather, ties us together."

What are city in micronesia?
Micronesia does not have a capital as it is not a country but more a general term for a geographical region(according to some dictionaries and encyclopedias). However, there is a capital of the "Federated States of Micronesia the political entity" which is in Palikir on the island state of Pohnpei. Though for argument's sake, the word "Micronesia" itself can also mean the political entity as the FSM States were the only former TTPI members who decided to make the word "Micronesia" as part of it's new Constitutional Government's name. So, I will contradict myself and say that the capital of Micronesia is in Palikir on the island state of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia.
