English is the second official language in Palau. Thousands of Palauans live in the US and serve in the US military without giving up their citizenship (and without the need to obtain a visa or green card). The US is their closest ally and many things in Palau are modeled after the US, as is the capital building you saw in this clip. All the while, maintaining their traditions and passing down thousands of years of culture to their youth. Part of this is the immensely important task of preserving the pristine environment.

[@YanBrassard]

Well, his statement was wrong and I'm glad that he can now realize it. I mean, all presidents desire power and control. Why? Because they want a political agenda and they want to achieve it. It doesn't mean that this is their only motivation. They need to seek power in order to achieve want they want, whether it is to work for private interests or for the people.

I would count Hawaii only if you actually left the airport and ventured into Honolulu. Since you were simply at an outdoor section of the airport, it doesn't count For example, back in 2011 although I had a layover at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, I don't count it as a visit to Georgia since I didn't venture into Atlanta You need to do a proper visit to Hawaii to complete your 50 states...it's what that state deserves.

The reason Koror is more developed than the capital: Koror was the capital of the place for quite a long time starting in 1919 when it was the capital of the entire South Seas Mandate under Japan. Ngerulmud didn't become the capital until 2006. The plans for a new capital have been in development since the 80s after ratifying in the 1979 constitution that the government should establish a new capital on the country's biggest island. Because Palau lacked architects, engineers, and had to import materials needed from other countries, progress was slow. It didn't pick up until the early 2000s when Palau received a loan of 20 million USD from Taiwan in 1999 (hence the plaque at 10:39; Taiwan has helped Palau significantly and Palau is one of the few countries to have an embassy in Taipei). The complex cost over 45 million USD to build, and put Palau in debt Only 271 people live in Ngerulmud, the least populated capital city of a country (not counting territories). The only settlement in the country to have a ZIP code, served by the USPS as part of Palau's Compact of Free Association

[@kamilksiazek8019]

So when taking a loan, didn't they realize that one day they would need to repay it? :D I wonder why did they decided to build a new capital
