Hi! I would love to know about the Federated States of Micronesia. 
 Hello! Let me see what I can find for you. It is an independent republic associated with the United States. It's an island country in the Pacific Ocean consisting of 607 islands east of the Philippines. 
 I had no idea! What is their History? 
 After World War II, it was administered by the U.S. under the auspices of the U.N. It became independent in 1986 upon signing the Compact of Free Association with the U.S. moving it from trusteeship to independent status. 
 Hmmm, that's something! Anything else about their History? 
 That Compact allows its citizens to join the U.S. military without U.S. residency or citizenship. It also permits immigration an employment for them in the U.S. and provides both economic and technical aid programs. 
 Wow! This is something I never knew! How is their Politics? 
 The country often votes along with the U.S. in matters involving U.N. resolutions. Although it is a sovereign and self-governing state now, the United States is completely responsible for its defense. 
 The U.S. is responsible for its defense! Amazing! Good info to know! 
 It is an active member of the Pacific Islands Forum and was admitted to the U.N. in 1991. 
 Wow! Thank you so much for the very informative chat! 
 You're very welcome!
