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.
