Federated States of Micronesia

2. A country consisting of about 700 islands in the Micronesia region of Oceania. Capital: Palikir.

   Synonyms: FSM, Micronesia (see usage notes)

The country is often referred to as "Micronesia". However, this can create ambiguity, as the Micronesia region (around 2000 islands) extends well beyond the territory of the Federated States of Micronesia (700 islands).
