After a long period of transition, including the violent deaths of two presidents (Haruo Remeliik in 1985 by assassination and Lazarus Salii in 1988 by suicide), Palau voted in 1994 to become freely associated with the U.S. while retaining their independence.

The major ethnic group (70%) is the native Palauans, who are of Melanesian ethnicity.

 The Great Flight Northward: FSM Migration to Guam
Palauans thronged to Guam long before Filipinos in any appreciable number arrived there, and they owned the small bars and diners along Marine Drive that later passed into the hands of Koreans (Solenberger 1953: 7-8).
