Micronesia is one of the three regions in the Pacific Ocean along Melanesia and Polynesia. This region is located north from New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, east of the Philippines, west from Hawaii, and South from Japan. There are five groups of islands that are composing this region, the Marshal Islands, Palau, Northern Mariana, Caroline Islands, and Kiribati.
