  3. Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) Government • The FSM became an independent nation in November of 1986 and entered into a long-term treaty called the Compact of Free Association with the United States. • Constitutional government with unicameral Congress (14 seats), one from each state elected for a four-year term, and ten who serve two-year terms whose seats are apportioned by population. The President and Vice President are elected by the Congress. The administrative divisions are the four states: Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei, Yap. Culture and Society • Traditional extended family and matrilineal clan systems. • Although a common country, the people from the 4 main islands make a culturally diverse population. The cultural diversity is typified by the existence of eight major indigenous languages. Economy • Currency is US dollar. • The young population places extreme pressures on national and state budgets. Economic activity consists primarily of subsistence farming and fishing. The medium-term economic outlook appears fragile due not only to the reduction in US assistance but also to the slow growth of the private sector. • Geographical isolation and a poorly developed infrastructure remain major impediments to long-term growth. (Nominal) GDP is US$244.7 million and per capita US$2,254 (2006 estimate). Balance of trade in 2004 was US$ -134,572 million. Annual rate of inflation 3.1% (June 07). Unemployment: 22% in 2000.
