位於太平洋的密克羅尼西亞島群上，和帛琉同時脫離密聯獨立，並和美國簽訂《自由聯合國家條約》。國土是由礁石構成的小島群，每個島都呈現狹長狀，有一些是「環礁」，就像躺在太平洋島上的手環，其中一個比基尼環礁曾被美國作為核爆試驗場。國土面積窄小貧瘠，島內蔬果通通得從國外進口。是台灣邦交國，現任總統卡布亞與台灣保持良好關係。但因馬紹爾群島長期被美國冷落，中國也有意大力投資，國內親中聲浪日漸強烈，跟台灣的邦交不算穩固。

Year Founded: 1986

Situated among the Micronesian archipelago in the Pacific, the Marshall Islands left the Federated States of Micronesia at the same time Palau did, declared independence and signed the Compact of Free Association with the U.S. The country’s territory is composed of coral reef islands. Each island is long in shape and some are atolls, just like bracelets in the Pacific. An island of the Bikini Atoll was once used as a nuclear test site by the U.S. Small in area and infertile, the inhabitants rely on foreign imports for all fresh produce. 

A diplomatic ally of Taiwan, the current President, David Kabua, maintains a friendly relationship with Taiwan. However, with the Marshall Islands long neglected by the U.S. and China proposing to invest greatly in the country, the pro-China atmosphere is increasing, leaving diplomatic relations with Taiwan somewhat shaky.
