What are city in micronesia?

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Are Micronesians considered American Citizens?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some are, some aren't. I'll explain.

Micronesia is a large group of islands in the Pacific Ocean. Some parts of it are territories that belong to the United States- specifically, the Northern Marianas, Wake Island, and Guam. People born in those places are considered American citizens (although in Wake's case, it's a hundred or so military personnel, so it's exceedingly rare for anyone to be born there).

The rest of Micronesia is considered an "Associated State" of the United States. That is, they are fully independent, but the US helps defend them in the case of war, and also helps pay for some social services. In return, the US is allowed to set up military bases there.

The cuisine of Palau includes local foods such as cassava, taro, yam, potato, fish, and pork. Western cuisine is favored among young Palauans and the island's very small population is joined by a lot of foreign tourists. Restaurants on the main island of Koror consist mainly of Korean food, as well as Chinese, burgers, pizza, and pasta. Indigenous cuisine consists mainly of root vegetables, fish, pigs, and chicken.

What is the climate in palau?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fiji's climate is tropical. Overall, temperatures between November and April (summer) are slightly higher than the winter months, as is the humidity and the resulting tropical downpours. Light cotton clothes are advisable at all times - only between May and October (winter) will a light sweater be needed for nights and early mornings.

However, the weather in Fiji varies considerably between island regions. This is due to the dominant south-east trade winds which traps clouds over the mountains on the south-eastern sides of the larger islands - rainfall in Suva is much higher than in Nadi on the western, leeward side of the main island which is good if you want to experience the vibrant rainforest but not so good for sun-bathing.

Summer - December to April

Summer begins early in December and lasts until April. During this time it is hot and humid (32oC by day) with bright sunny mornings and predictable late afternoon downpours on the larger islands, although the small offshore islands often miss these downpours altogether. This 'wet season' is a good time to come to experience the lush vibrancy of the rainforest - rivers are full, waterfalls gushing and the hills of the larger islands become refreshingly green. The down side is the high humidity, the increase in mosquitoes and the possibility of tropical storms or mightier cyclones.

Winter - May to November

By the end of April, Fiji experiences a more moderate climate. Temperatures are comfortably warm by day (27oC) and pleasantly cool at night (19oC) when a light jumper may be necessary. By midwinter (July), many parts of the country welcome rain - the hills around Nadi turn brown and water shortages occur on the smaller islands. However, on the eastern sides of the larger islands, notably Suva, Savusavu and Taveuni, rainfall is never far away keeping the air clear and scenery green year round.

When discovered micronesia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Discovered would mean, found inhabited

Yap, one of the many islands in Micronesia was one of the first empires, with historical myths and tales of the creation of mankind in the land and island of Gagil, one of the central islands of Yap. The story includes that from Yap the rest of the world was inhabited thousands of years ago.

However in historical tomes between 300 and 1200 BC small groups of Polynesians (from Marquesas and Tahiti) discovered several islands of southeastern Micronesia. One group reached the Caroline islands and settled there, mixing with the local population. The first Europeans to again discover Micronesia was the Spanish fleet of Magellan, on the first circumnavigation of the world in 1521
