On October 1, 1994 Palau gained her independence and currently enjoys a Compact of Free Association with the United States - under the terms of which the United States is responsible for Palau's defense.

In 2005, Palau was given $12.8 million in foreign aid from the US.

In 2015, Palau became a member of the Climate Vulnerable Forum under the chairmanship of the Philippines, and at the same time, the country officially protected 80% of her water resources, becoming the first country to do so. The protection of her water resources made significant increases in the country's economy in less than two years.

In April 2022, Palau launched Ol'au Palau, a responsible tourism program aimed to preserve her natural environment and traditional culture.

Palau's economy consists primarily of tourism, subsistence agriculture, and fishing. Tourist activity focuses on scuba diving and snorkeling in the islands' rich marine environment, including its barrier reefs' walls and World War II wrecks.
