Palikir is in the Pacific/Kosrae timezone (+11/UTC+11), with no daylight saving time observed. Palikir is one of the world’s least-visited national capitals, a small government center in the hills above Kolonia on Pohnpei island in Micronesia. The Federated States of Micronesia is an island nation of 607 islands spread across 2.7 million square kilometers of the western Pacific, with a total land area smaller than Rhode Island.
The FSM uses multiple timezones across its scattered islands. Pohnpei, where Palikir sits, uses Pacific/Kosrae at UTC+11. Chuuk and Yap use UTC+10. Kosrae uses UTC+11 as well. The IANA identifier Pacific/Kosrae covers Palikir’s timezone.
At 6.9 degrees north, Palikir’s daylight barely varies: around 12 hours year-round. Pohnpei is famously one of the wettest places on earth, receiving over 7,000 millimeters of rain annually in some parts of the island. The wetness shapes everything: the lush forest that covers the mountainous interior, the agricultural practices, and the daily rhythm of working around the rainfall that can arrive at any time.
Nan Madol and a civilization without writing
The Nan Madol megalithic city, a complex of artificial islets connected by canals built between 1200 and 1500 AD, sits off Pohnpei’s eastern coast. It was the ceremonial and political center of the Saudeleur dynasty and was constructed without any metal tools or written records.
