Micronesia is a nation in Oceania. In 1979 the Federated States of Micronesia, a United Nations Trust Territory under US administration, adopted a constitution. In 1986 independence was attained under a Compact of Free Association with the United States, which was amended and renewed in 2004. Present concerns include large-scale unemployment, overfishing, and overdependence on US aid.[1]
