FM — Micronesia

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is a Pacific island nation comprising four states — Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae — spread across the western Pacific. Palikir, on Pohnpei, is the capital. FSM has a Compact of Free Association with the United States and uses the US Dollar. For developers, the FM country code and .fm domain are significant — the .fm ccTLD has been brilliantly marketed as a domain for radio stations and music platforms (FM radio), making it one of the most commercially successful Pacific ccTLDs. The +691 dialing code covers all four states. The .fm domain's association with radio/music has generated registrations far exceeding the country's population. FM's four-state federal structure means sub-national geographic distinctions may be relevant. The Compact of Free Association allows FSM citizens to live and work in the US. The .fm domain success story (like .tv for Tuvalu) demonstrates how ccTLD marketing can create economic value for small island nations.
