- Yap's traditional women's clothing norms are not a tourist invitation to ignore modesty — visitors should keep covered.
- Removing artifacts from Chuuk Lagoon WWII wrecks is a federal heritage offense and an environmental risk.
JURISDICTION NOTES
- Each of the four FSM states (Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, Kosrae) sets its own alcohol and customary-law rules — verify before each leg.
- Compact of Free Association with the US allows FSM citizens to live/work in US — but visitors are subject to local laws.
