From Yap's stone money to the sunken fleet of Chuuk Lagoon and the ancient city of Nan Madol, FSM is rich in unique cultural heritage.
Each round presents 10 randomized multiple-choice questions drawn from a pool of 50, so every playthrough is different. You get instant feedback with explanations after each answer, plus a shareable score at the end.
You'll discover the four states of FSM, the Compact of Free Association with the United States, the ancient ruins of Nan Madol, Yap's remarkable stone money system, Chuuk Lagoon's WWII history, traditional navigation by the stars, and why these tiny islands face enormous challenges from rising sea levels.
FSM consists of four states: Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. Each has its own distinct culture, language, and traditions, spread across the western Pacific.
