          MICRONESIA
==============================

Comprising the bulk of the
Carolines, the Federated State
of Micronsia stretches across
more than 3,200km of Pacific,
with the Equator as the
southern boundary. The 607
islands divide into four
groups and range from
mountains to low atolls. Over
half the area and population
is accounted for by the main
island, Pohnpei. Copra is the
main crop and phosphate is
also exported, while the rich
tuna-fishing grounds in
territorial waters bring in
revenue from foreign fleets.
Tourism is growing rapidly,
but Micronesia remains heavily
dependent on US aid.
