Federated States of —, island group in the Pacific Ocean; capital Palikir (10)

I believe the answer is:

micronesia

(Other definitions for micronesia that I've seen before include "Western Pacific island group" , "Pacific lands" , "Group of Pacific islands" , "part of Pacific" , "somewhere in Pacific" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
