Bokak Atoll (also known as Taongi Atoll) is an uninhabited 3.2 square kilometer atoll located in the Pacific Ocean at 14°32′N 169°00′E / 14.533°N 169.000°E / 14.533; 169.000. It is located in the Ratak Chain.
The first European to record discovering Bokak was Alonso de Salazar, a Spanish explorer, on August 21, 1526.
Recent history
Bokak (as the "Taongi Islands") has been claimed as extraterritorial by the "Government of the Dominion of Melchizedek", a controversial entity, aspiring to ecclesiastical statehood, that has a history of licensing banks that defraud investors. The only basis for this disputed claim seems to be related to a "sovereign master lease" granted by the Iroijlaplap of Taongi Atoll.
