Abstract: Micronesia is perhaps the most unlikely candidate for self-government or independence which has appeared in modern times. The boundaries of the area have been fixed by historical accident, population is small, distances are great, apparent natural resources are scarce, and divisive influences seem to be all but overwhelming. If one is to understand the anomaly that is Micronesia, one must be aware of the influences which tend toward self-interest and separatism between the various societies, the factors that militate against unity.
