Faichuk

Faichuk (also Faichuuk, Tol, or the Western Islands) is a group of four islands separated from one another by narrow canals in the western part of Truk Lagoon, Chuuk, Micronesia.

The tightly knit islands are considered as one for statistical and administrative purposes.

The islands are Paata (Pata), Polle, Wonei (Onei), and Tol (these four, because of their proximity, are sometimes collectively subsumed under the island name Tol), Eot, Fanapanges, Romanum and Udot.

Mount Winipot is also the highest point of the Chuuk State.

This group of islands claims again (2002) the status of a federated state after a first attempt refused by the Micronesian president around 1985.
