Geography Now! Micronesia (Federated States)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The Federated State of Micronesia may cover 217 square miles, but the country's landmass only covers a fraction of that. The 600 islands are home to a diverse indigenous culture, and the marks of colonialism, including English and Christianity, are all over it. A video resource profiles the small nation that covers a large ocean area.
