| After three decades as part of the UN Trust Territory of the Pacific under US administration, this westernmost cluster of the Caroline Islands opted for independence in 1978 rather than join the Federated States of Micronesia. A Compact of Free Association with the US was approved in 1986, but not ratified until 1993. It entered into force the following year, when the islands gained independence. |

Palau Culture __ "The people of Belau, as the islanders call their homeland, may
appear to be among the most Westernized of all Micronesians in their casual
American togs and baseball caps. However, they still frown upon skimpy beach
attire away from the water, and most homes and many public buildings require
that you leave your shoes near the door." - illustrated - From lonelyplanet.com
