Palau

Palau is one of the youngest nations in the world. It is an island cluster southeast of the Philippines. It gained it's independence from the United States in 1994, but continues to freely associate with the United States, relying on our fine country for military protection, among other things. The country is a tropical nation that sees rain all year, never truly escaping the ITCZ. The good news is that the country is too close to the equator to ever really be under the threat of any tropical storms or typhoons.The largest island, Babeldaob, is mountainous and sees more rain than the surrounding, mostly coral islands.
As the United States is entrusted with the protection of the island nation, the US also provides Palau with any weather information they may seek.
