The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) consists of four states: Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei, and Yap.

The country’s capital, Palikir, is located on Pohnpei, which is the largest and most developed state in the FSM, with a population of 36,196 in 2012. Kosrae, which had a population of 6,616, is the FSM’s second largest island. Around 83% of Pohnpei’s population resides in the urban center of Kolonia, while 67% of Kosrae’s population is found in the island’s urban center of Lelu. The per capita gross domestic product of the FSM was estimated at $3,133 in 2012. The FSM has three tiers of government: national, state, and municipal.
