How many islands are there in Micronesia?

There are in excess of 25,000 islands in the Pacific Ocean. Some of them are Tahiti, Bora Bora, Rarotonga, Jarvis Island and Johnston Atoll.

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.

Are Micronesians considered American Citizens?

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.

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

Is palau part of the Federated States of Micronesia?

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.
