The story

Melekeok State Cultural Day in Ngerulmud/Melekeok

Melekeok is one of Palau's sixteen states and home to Ngerulmud, the national capital since 2006, located on Babeldaob about 20 kilometers from Koror. A specific, independently documented annual Melekeok State Cultural Day event could not be confirmed beyond this general state and capital context.

Melekeok is confirmed as one of Palau's sixteen states, distinguished above all by hosting Ngerulmud, the country's national capital since 2006, a relatively recent relocation from Koror that placed the seat of government roughly 20 kilometers northeast on Babeldaob island.
