  • The 16 STATES
    The 16 STATES Pristine Paradise. 2 Palau is an archipelago of diverse terrain, flora and fauna. There is the largest island of volcanic origin, called Babeldaob, the outer atoll and limestone islands, the Southern Lagoon and islands of Koror, and the southwest islands, which are located about 250 miles southwest of Palau. These regions are divided into sixteen states, each with their own distinct features and attractions. Transportation to these states is mainly by road, boat, or small aircraft. Koror is a group of islands connected by bridges and causeways, and is joined to Babeldaob Island by the Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge. Once in Babeldaob, driving the circumference of the island on the highway can be done in a half day or full day, depending on the number of stops you would like. The outer islands of Angaur and Peleliu are at the southern region of the archipelago, and are accessable by small aircraft or boat, and there is a regularly scheduled state ferry that stops at both islands. Kayangel, to the north of Babeldaob, can also be visited by boat or helicopter. The Southwest Islands, due to their remote location, are only accessible by large ocean-going vessels, but are a glimpse into Palau’s simplicity and beauty. When visiting these pristine areas, it is necessary to contact the State Offices in order to be introduced to these cultural treasures through a knowledgeable guide. While some fees may apply, your contribution will be used for the preservation of these sites. Please see page 19 for a list of the state offices.

    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE REPUBLIC OF PALAU APPELLATE DIVISION NGEREMLENGUI STATE GOVERNMENT and NGEREMLENGUI STATE PUBLIC LANDS AUTHORITY, Appellants/Cross-Appellees, v. NGARDMAU STATE GOVERNMENT and NGARDMAU STATE PUBLIC LANDS AUTHORITY, Appellees/Cross-Appellants. Cite as: 2016 Palau 24 Civil Appeal No. 15-014 Appeal from Civil Action No. 13-020 Decided: November 16, 2016 Counsel for Ngeremlengui ............................................... Oldiais Ngiraikelau Counsel for Ngardmau ..................................................... Yukiwo P. Dengokl Matthew S. Kane BEFORE: KATHLEEN M. SALII, Associate Justice LOURDES F. MATERNE, Associate Justice C. QUAY POLLOI, Associate Justice Pro Tem Appeal from the Trial Division, the Honorable R. Ashby Pate, Associate Justice, presiding. OPINION PER CURIAM: [¶ 1] This appeal arises from a dispute between the neighboring States of Ngeremlengui and Ngardmau regarding their common boundary line. In 2013, the Ngeremlengui State Government and Ngeremlengui State Public Lands Authority (Ngeremlengui) filed a civil suit against the Ngardmau State Government and Ngardmau State Public Lands Authority (Ngardmau), seeking a judgment declaring the legal boundary line between the two states. After extensive evidentiary proceedings and a trial, the Trial Division issued a decision adjudging that common boundary line. [¶ 2] Each state has appealed a portion of that decision and judgment. Ngardmau argues that the Trial Division applied an incorrect legal standard to determine the boundary line. Ngardmau also argues that the Trial Division Ngeremlengui v. Ngardmau, 2016 Palau 24 clearly erred in making factual determinations concerning parts of the common land boundary. Ngeremlengui argues that the Trial Division clearly erred in making factual determinations concerning a part of the common maritime boundary. For the reasons below, the judgment of the Trial Division is AFFIRMED.

Rechucher Counsel for Appellees: J. Roman Bedor BEFORE: ARTHUR NGIRAKLSONG, Chief Justice, LOURDES F. MATERNE, Associate Justice; ALEX R. MUNSON, Part-Time Associate Justice. Appeal from the Trial Division, the Honorable KATHLEEN M. SALII, Associate Justice, presiding. PER CURIAM: This appeal concerns a disputed boundary line between Airai State and Aimeliik State. Aimeliik puports to rent land within its borders to three individuals, while Airai contends that the leased land is within its borders. Airai brought an action in trespass against Aimeliik and the lessees of the disputed land. The trial court held that a line between an undisputed boundary monument, Japanese Monument 1, and a second point identified by Aimeliik, Japanese Monument 2, was the border between the two states. This action will be remanded because the trial court did not provide sufficient analysis for this Court to review when it rejected certain evidence in reaching its factual conclusions. BACKGROUND Appellant Airai State Public Lands Authority (“Airai”) filed a trespass action against Appellees Aimeliik State Government ⊥2 and Aimeliik State Public Lands Authority (“Aimeliik”) and their lessees, Henaro Antonio, Ulai Teltull, and Andres Madraisau (“lessees”), asserting that they leased, occupied, and used public lands within the boundaries of Airai State Airai State Pub.
