| Geography And People - Palau | | | | | |
The Republic of Palau consists of eight principal islands and more than 250 smaller ones lying roughly 500 miles southeast of the Philippines. The islands of Palau constitute part of the Caroline Islands chain. About 70% of Palauans live in the capital city of Koror on Koror Island. The constitution calls for a new capital to be established on the bigger but less developed island of Babeldaob--the second-largest island in Micronesia after Guam. Construction of that capital in the State of Melekeok began in 2002, with an expected move of the national government in late 2006 following the spring/summer 2006 completion of U.S.-funded connector highway. |
