Marshall Islands

Why it sticks

1. 1

   The US tested 67 nuclear weapons at Bikini and Enewetak atolls between 1946 and 1958. The bikini swimsuit was named after Bikini Atoll.

2. 2

   The country is made up of 29 coral atolls and 5 single islands. Its traditional navigators mapped ocean swells with stick charts.

3. 3

   It is linked to the US by a Compact of Free Association, uses the US dollar and drives on the right.

• No official Street View: only user photospheres.
• Drives on the right, unlike most Pacific island states, with American-style vehicles.
• One long road along the thin capital atoll, with the lagoon on one side and the open ocean on the other.
