Palau, the last country to achieve the independence in the Pacific Ocean, is a state with a large American influence in its political system. These islands have been part of many countries throughout their history and like other islands of Oceania has no political parties. A legislature with two chambers equally relevant with the ability to remove the highest institutions of the state and where citizens have great control over their political leaders because they can separate them from their seats. In this paper political and electoral situation of Palau is analyzed from a descriptive point of view, clarifying the importance of history and traditions to reflect on the current situation of the state.
