Palau

Palau shares 546 connections with 13797 other places across 26 topics, led by governance, natural geography, and military history. As a Pacific island nation that passed through Spanish, German, Japanese, and American administration, Palau's strongest ties run to the United States and Japan, with Spain also carrying many shared connections rooted partly in the 1899 German-Spanish Treaty that transferred the islands after Spain's defeat in the Spanish-American War. A strong cluster of connections also reflects Palau's position within Pacific Ocean ecology and sports.
