Such a good poker player but so poor in geography........ Sorry had to do it since I got busted right away.

FSM = Federated States of Micronesia, part of the Freely Associated States which are three newer countries Palau, FSM, Marshall Islands within the last 25 years or so, used to be Trust Territories of the USA. Basically, over 300 islands south of Guam, East of PI, West of Hawaii, and North of the equator.

There's Compact of Associations between the countries and the USA so they are still closely tied, Micronesian's can enter and live and work in the USA just like a US Citizen can but as of three years ago they changed it so that you need to actually have a passport to enter the USA. Used to be able to get away with an FSM birth certificate or such. However they also changed it so that the FSM turned over their felony lists, and they can not enter the USA; however felons from the USA can still enter the FSM as the US won't turn over those documents to the FSM.

The only issue I find I object to is that majority of these islanders and lawyers and judges never thought about this possibility, so people plead guilty to felonies, got probation, and went on with life instead of pleading to a lesser offense and getting probation. So there are good people who have screwed up 20 years ago in life, took probation and plead guilty to a felony, now they can't get anywhere outside the islands as all ports of exit go to GUM or HNL and they get busted at immigration. For true felon's, I have no issue on keeping them out of the USA, but we have a lot of petty things from years and years ago that are holding people up because they never realized what they were doing (and that includes our lawyers and judges).
