The largest outlying U.S. possession is Palau, an island nation located in the western Pacific Ocean. Although it is a sovereign country, it has a Compact of Free Association with the United States, which provides for defense and financial assistance. Palau encompasses about 340 islands and has a total land area of approximately 466 square kilometers. This makes it the largest in terms of land area among U.S. territories and possessions.
