With a population of approximately 18,000, the Republic of Palau is located in the western Pacific Ocean, in the westernmost island cluster in the Caroline Island Group. Palau consists of hundreds of coralline and volcanic islands, of which twelve are currently inhabited.Palau has been an independent nation since October 1, 1994.
