The Federated States of Micronesia include the Carolines in the Pacific Northwest. In 1979, the districts of Chuuk, Yap, Kosrae, and Pohnpei in the Pacific Islands Trust Territory (a United Nations United Nations Trust Territory) together formed the Federated States of Micronesia. It was not until 1986 that the federation became an independent state associated with the United States, but since 1984 Micronesia has been issuing its own stamps. Before that, American postage stamps were used. It was not until 1990 that the trust was officially terminated by the United Nations.
