archipelago of tiny islands in the western Pacific Ocean, divided between the Federated States of Micronesia and Palau
The Caroline Islands are a chain of small islands located in the western Pacific Ocean that are split between two independent nations: the Federated States of Micronesia and Palau. These islands matter as distinct political entities and cultural regions in the Pacific, and they serve as important territories in one of the world's most remote ocean areas.

The Caroline Islands (or the Carolines) are a widely scattered archipelago of tiny islands in the western Pacific Ocean, to the north of New Guinea. Politically, they are divided between the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) in the central and eastern parts of the group, and Palau at the extreme western end. Historically, this area was also called Nuevas Filipinas or New Philippines, because they were part of the Spanish East Indies and were governed from Manila in the Philippines.
