Koror (English: /ˈkɔːˌrɔːr/, KAW-rawr;[1]) is the largest city and the commercial centre in Palau, home to about half of the country's population, located on Koror Island (also Oreor Island). During the interwar period it served as the capital of the South Seas Mandate, a group of islands that made up the League of Nations mandated territory held by the Empire of Japan. It was subsequently the capital of Palau until it was replaced by Ngerulmud in 2006.[2]
