• Only a handful of British tourists visit the Federated States of Micronesia every year.  Most visits are trouble-free.  We are not aware of any British nationals who have required consular assistance in Federated States of Micronesia in 2007.
  
  
• There is a low threat from terrorism in the Federated States of Micronesia.  But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be in public places including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
