What is the largest island of the Federated States of Micronesia? The answer is Pohnpei.
Pohnpei is the largest island in the Federated States of Micronesia, covering about 334 square kilometres. It is also the country’s most populous and most developed single island. Pohnpei belongs to Pohnpei State and forms part of the Senyavin Islands within the broader Caroline Islands group.
The island is especially important politically because Palikir, the national capital of the Federated States of Micronesia, is located there. Kolonia serves as the capital of Pohnpei State and is one of its main population centres.
Pohnpei was formerly known as Ponape and Ascension. Its mountainous, exceptionally wet landscape includes Mount Nanlaud, the island’s highest point. Another major landmark is Nan Madol, a ruined city built on artificial islets off the eastern shore, with construction beginning around the eighth or ninth century.
A common mistake is choosing Chuuk, Yap or Kosrae because all four are states of the federation. Pohnpei is the island, state and national-capital location in this question.
