(A) The legend on these plates says "Sonsorol Fanah - Meril Islands" (SFM prefix).
However, there is neither a "Fanah" nor a "Meril" island but there is a "Fanna"
(or "Fana", 0.48 km2) and a "Merir" (or "Melieli", 0.91 km2)
island both of which are tiny atolls.
It is unknown if there are any registered vehicles on these islands and if these
license plates are legitimate or fakes.
