Description

Nett is one of the six municipalities located in the main island of Pohnpei. It corresponds to the north-central sector of the island.

The population was 6,639 as of 2010. [2] Nett municipality formerly included Kolonia, now a separate administrative division.

Nett has been historically subdivided into 23 sections, districts, or villages (kousapw): Parempei, Lenger, Leprohi, Sekeren, Weipowe, Diadi, Tomwara, Dolokei, Lewetik, Takaieu, Paliais, Seinwar, Meitik, Paremkep, Nansokasok (Nan Sokasok), Eirike (Eirke), Nanipil, Kahmar, Doaroapop, Pohndien, Dolakapw, Mesenieng, and Lehdau. This includes Mesenieng, which is the traditional name of the now separate municipality Kolonia, which is still claimed by Nett municipality as one of its kousapw.

The kousapw are or were further subdivided into peliensapw (farmsteads).
