Kolonia is the capital of Pohnpei, one of the four states, which together form the Federated States of Micronesia. Erroneously, the city is often also regarded as the capital of the state as a whole; However, this is five kilometers away, also located on Pohnpei Palikir. Only some authorities of the state as a whole have their headquarters in Kolonia

The preservation of the bell tower of the former German Mission Church in Kolonia and care of the small German cemetery were funded by the federal government.
