PRI's The World - Geo Quiz Podcast 460
Sovereignty for Sale
Today's Geo Quiz -- takes us to Micronesia, in the western reaches of the Pacific Ocean. Hundreds of islands make up Micronesia. We're looking for a small island -- just 8 square miles. It's the world's smallest independent nation. So small -- in fact -- it doesn't even have an official capital. But Yaren is where most of the island's 14,000 residents are. As an independent nation -- this island conducts its own foreign policy. It's latest move raised some eyebrows. It became only the fourth nation -- after Russia, Venezuela, and Nicaragua -- to recognize Abkhazia as an independent country. We'll tell you more about that, when you name the Pacific island nation we're talking about.
