Micronesia
The Federated States of Micronesia is a nation in Oceania, located in the east and west of the Caroline Islands, in the western part of the Pacific Ocean. During the Second World War, hundreds of ships and planes sank here, which attracts divers. Tourists also come here to relax among the magnificent nature, picturesque waterfalls, beautiful beaches. Tourist infrastructure is developed here, and there are night entertainments — discos, restaurants, and casinos. The paradise islands are like another planet for guests from the Big Land. The indigenous people have preserved unusual traditions that even the authorities do not argue with. According to the customs, if a person has committed a crime punishable by death, the police will not interfere with the murder. The only way to save a miserable man is to buy him out for a stone coin, the price of which is human life.
