The language of the country is English, but a lot of native languages are used at local levels. Not having a lot of minerals, the country subsists mainly by fishing and farming. Being so isolated from the world is a drawback when it comes to international trade. The island of Yap is also known for having “stone money”, huge rocks with the form of coins, as if a giant had lost some change there.
