Geography

Micronesia consists of 607 islands, east of the Philippines and stretches across 1,800 miles. It is a tropical climate that is susceptible to typhoons during the rainy season.
Brief History

At first explored by the Portuguese and the Spanish, Micronesia was sold to Germany in 1899, conquered by Japan in 1914 and seized by the United States during World War II.
Economy

The primary industries are farming and fishing. Because of its geographical remoteness and poor infrastructure, development of tourism and long-term growth has been slow.
