Ulithi, a remote atoll in the Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia, is located in the hinterland of the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean and consists of some 40 small islands that form a huge lagoon, making it the fourth largest atoll in the world. The isolated island has a resident population of less than 500, and is dominated by indigenous Micronesians, who retain their traditional seafaring culture and tribal customs. Surrounded by crystal clear waters and rich coral reef ecology, the atoll is a secret place for diving and sea fishing enthusiasts, but due to the lack of transportation, tourism has not yet been developed on a large scale. Historically, Eauripik served as an important U.S. naval base during World War II, and some of its remains are still visible today. The local economy relies mainly on fishing and a small amount of agriculture, and the residents live a simple life in harmony with nature, making it a "hidden paradise" in the Pacific Ocean.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
