Micronesia is a sovereign nation in free association with the United States, and UN Day is observed with school programs and community events. The AHA! moment: the Compact of Free Association, which governs the relationship between Micronesia and the United States, was signed in 1986.

In exchange, Micronesia allows the United States to maintain military access to the region.
