Chuuk, State in Federated States of Micronesia
The Chuuk State encompasses multiple island groups within a large lagoon, including the Nomoneas, Faichuuk, Hall Islands, Namonuito Atoll, Pattiw, and Mortlock Islands.
During World War II, Chuuk Lagoon served as a major Japanese naval base until Operation Hailstone in February 1944 destroyed numerous military vessels and facilities.
The Pattiw Region maintains traditional navigation practices, with local experts using stars and ocean patterns to guide vessels between remote islands.
The state capital Weno contains the main airport, administrative offices, and commercial centers, serving as the primary gateway for visitors and business activities.
Multiple delays of the independence referendum since 2015 reflect complex negotiations regarding financial support and strategic relationships in the Pacific region.
