The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) celebrates its National Day, also known as Constitution Day or Micronesia Day, on November 3rd each year. This public holiday commemorates the signing of the Micronesian constitution on November 3, 1978, which established the FSM as a sovereign federated nation in free association with the United States.
The FSM comprises four main states: Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. Previously, these states were part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, a United Nations trusteeship administered by the United States after World War II.
The Micronesian constitution created a federal government that united the four states while still allowing for a significant degree of local autonomy.
The Compact of Free Association with the United States, signed in 1982 and implemented in 1986, granted the FSM full independence, while the United States agreed to provide defense and financial assistance.
National Day is an important event in the FSM, marked by various festivities and activities throughout the country.
Celebrations include parades, traditional dance performances, sports competitions, cultural events, and speeches by political leaders. The day is an opportunity for the people of Micronesia to express their national pride and unity, as well as to honor their history and achievements since gaining self-government and independence.
