When did the Federated States of Micronesia establish its federated government?

The Federated States of Micronesia established its federated government in 1979, following the adoption of a constitution drafted in 1975.1

While the nation was previously administered by the United States as part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, the new political entity was formed by the "inner states" of Yap, Chuuk, Kosrae, and Pohnpei after other regions chose to separate from the proposed federation. Full self-government was later solidified through a Compact of Free Association with the United States, which became effective on November 3, 1986.1
