Republic of the Marshall Islands. "The Republic
of the Marshall Islands (RMI) is a nation of more than
50,000 living on 29 coral atolls and 5 small low-lying
islands in the central Pacific, mid-way between Hawaii and
Australia. The RMI adopted its constitution in 1979, and
signed the Compact of Free Association with the United
States in 1986. The RMI became a member of the United
Nations in 1991.
The natural beauty and rich culture of the Marshall
Islands attracts tourists from around the world. Pristine
coral reefs teeming with marine life make the Marshalls a
premiere dive destination. Yet our country faces
formidable challenges in the form of rapid population
growth, and accelerated sea-level rise, among others."
