Palau, officially the Republic of Palau, is a sovereign nation comprised of approximately 340 islands, islets, and atolls, with eight of them inhabited. Positioned in the western-most part of the Micronesia region of the Pacific Ocean, Palau gained independence in 1994. Home to around 18,000 people, Palau's vibrant culture and history date back to the 4th millennium BC, characterized by rich trading and cultural exchanges with neighboring Pacific nations.

The Palauan people deeply cherish their connection to the environment, considering it a blessing that sustains life and forms the basis of the nation's economy. With a profound sense of extended family, Palauans engage in traditional gatherings and ceremonies, fostering a strong community bond.
