Palau is part of the Carolines in the far west of the Pacific Ocean. In 1979, the Palau District in the Pacific Islands Trust Territory (a United Nations United Nations Trust Territory) chose not to join the Federated States of Micronesia. Instead, it formed the Republic of Palau in 1981. Palau only became an independent state associated with the United States in 1994 and the trust was officially terminated by the United Nations, but since 1983 Palau has been issuing its own stamps. Before that, American postage stamps were used.
