Today is Constitution Day in the Federated States of Micronesia, a public holiday. he Federated States of Micronesia comprise around 607 islands, that lie northwest of New Guinea and east of the Philippines. Micronesia consists of four states Yap, Pohnpei, Kosrae and Chuuk. Each state is centered on one or more main high islands. Following World War II, Micronesia was administered by the USA under United Nations auspices. The four Trust Territory districts ratified a new constitution in May 10, 1979 to become the Federated States of Micronesia. This event marked the emergence of modern Micronesia from trusteeship to independence from the USA.
