context_page_description: Tobi, or Hatohobei, also ハトホベイ州, is the southernmost of Palau's sixteen states, consisting of Tobi Island and Helen Reef. The total land area is about 0.88 km². The population was 80 in 1962, 51 in 1995, 23 in 2000, and 25 in 2015. Tobian, English and Sonsorolese are the official languages of Hatohobei State.
  It is the least populous first-level administrative subdivision in the world.
  The individual islands of Hatohobei, together with the islands of the state of Sonsorol, form the Southwest Islands of Palau.
context_section_description: 50 km east of Helen Reef is Transit Reef (Pieraurou), which appears on some maps and which is referenced as an island in the Hatohobei State constitution and constitutes the southernmost feature of Palau. Its existence as island, however, is doubtful, as it is not listed in the current Sailing Directions. The literal translation of its Tobian name Pieraurou is "Sandy Navigation Point", referring to a submerged sand bar rather than a reef or island.
