Can you tell me about Federal States of Micronesia? 
 Sure thing. They are an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, northeast of Paupa New Guinea. 
 Sounds like a beautiful place. Can you tell me a little bit about the politics there? 
 They have voted with the United State with respect to the United Nations. 
 Can you tell me more about politics there? 
 It is a sovereign, self-governing state in free-association with the United States, which is wholly responsible for its defense. 
 Interesting. What can you tell me about the economy there? 
 Financial assistance from thr U.S. is their primary source of revenue. They pledged $1.3 billion dollars in the islands between 1986 and 2001. 
 Wow, that's a lot of support. Can you tell me anything else about the economy? 
 That is all I have for now on economics. Did you know that the FSM is an active member of the Pacific Islands Forum? 
 I did not know that. You have been very helpful, thank you.
