This paper attempts to describe political aspects of geographical isolation. A case study of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the smallest federal state, confirms the thesis that geographical isolation, as observed in the FSM, has an impact on the functioning of the political system. Specific solutions used in the Constitution of the FSM due to its geographical and social isolation are presented. This study uses the systemic analysis as introduced to political science by D. Easton and G. Almond. The author modifies their model of political system and tries to indicate those elements and relations within the political system of the FSM that are the supplest for the impact of geographical isolation.
