Personally, I had to give some thought to 'Palauan' when reading that... didn't know Palau issues passports.

Wondered where the Republic of Palau was:
[Edit] Haha, Jamie beat me to it.

Geography
The Palau island chain consists of about 200 islands located in the western Pacific Ocean, 528 mi (650 km) southeast of the Philippines. Only eight of the islands are permanently inhabited. They vary geologically from the high, mountainous, largest island, Babelthuap, to low coral islands, usually fringed by large barrier reefs.
Government
Constitutional republic.

History
The original settlers of Palau are believed to have arrived from Indonesia as early as 2500 BC The Palau islands' position on the western threshold of Oceania and their proximity to Southeast Asia have combined to form a mixed population of Malay, Melanesian, Filipino, and Polynesian ancestry.

I don't recall ever hearing about this place, but Palau looks amazing, and quite a history from the WWII. Reminds me of The Solomon Islands and Bougainville with all the wrgkages and relics left over, both on land and under water. Adding Palau to my list of must-visit's.
WWII Remains Continue To Be Excavated on Palau
On the tiny Pacific island of Palau, the remains World War Two soldiers are still being searched for.
Seventy years since the end of World War Two, the small Pacific island of Palau bears the hidden remains of hundreds of soldiers, both Allied and Japanese.
At the time, the island was known as Peleliu and is part of a group of small islands off the east coast of the Philippines. The islands had been occupied by the Japanese during the war, and the US military saw the islands as a strategic location which had to be invaded and taken over so that it could continue its northward advance to the Japanese mainland.
By mid-1944, the US had made its way across the southwest and central Pacific bringing the frontline ever closer to the Japanese mainland.
There were two strategies being considered. One was by General Douglas MacArthur who wanted to continue westwards and capture of the Philippines, Okinawa, and then the Japanese mainland itself. Whereas US Admiral Chester Nimitz wanted to skip the Philippines, take Okinawa and Taiwan and then attack the Japanese mainland. Nevertheless, both wanted to take the island of Peleliu, since it was the next set of land that the US could launch an air attack from.
The US 1st Marine Division was to make the invasion and President Roosevelt personally went to Pearl Harbor to meet the troop commanders to discuss their strategies. It was decided that MacArthur’s strategy would be used to continue the US advancement.
There were around 11,000 Japanese troops from the 14th Infantry Division of the Japanese Imperial Army based on the island. Colonel Kunio Nakagawa, who was the commander of the Division’s 2nd Regiment, commanded the defence of the island, the Radio Australia reports.
In total, US troops suffered more than 6,500 casualties during the four week assault on the island.

Not only does Palau issue passports, but if you have one, you have the right to unrestricted access to the United States to work, study, live for as long as you want without getting a visa.

Or you can move to Sihanoukville.
