Marshall islands

 Named after John Marshall.

It is in Micronesia and the capital Majuro holds half of the population.

Most of the island is made out of atolls they are like ring-shaped islands of unbreached underwater volcanos, and the pacific ocean has lots of them and most of the islands are a few meters wide.

Most people travel by boat or small plane 15 to 50 miles or 24 - 80 Kilometers.

Also, the US destroyed one of their islands with a Nuclear bomb and there's a ton of radiation at that site.

The Marshall islands want to be a sovereign country but they also want to have that distinct status, and US and Marshalls are allowed to move and live in each other's countries.

The Marshalls get US postal services and defense and the US gets to use the old bases they built in WW2, and the same is for Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia.

Castle Bravo was the largest atmospheric nuclear test ever done by the USA, if you look at satellite images you can see craters of where the bombs detonated, the Enewetak atoll is inhabited as the US built a Radioactive containment dome known as the cactus dome it is NOT RECOMMENDED to go there but some people still go there though.

Most of the protein is from fish.

The population of 54k people.
