Palau: Getting Acquainted
Palau is an island country located in the western Pacific Ocean, forming part of the Micronesia region. It operates as a democratic republic in free association with the United States. With a population of just under 20,000 people, Palau is one of the world’s smallest sovereign states by population.
Palau’s history includes periods under Spanish, German, Japanese, and U.S. administration before gaining full sovereignty in 1994. The Compact of Free Association with the United States provides Palau with defense, financial assistance, and access to key U.S. services in exchange for military access. This relationship remains a vital part of Palau’s economic and security infrastructure.
- The capital of Palau is Ngerulmud, located on the island of Babeldaob.
- Palau's major industries include tourism, fishing, and subsistence agriculture, along with significant aid and support services linked to its relationship with the United States.
