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 consists of eleven islands surrounding a 78 square kilometer lagoon. It is a member of the Marshall Islands and is located in the Ratak Chain.
The first European to record discovering Bokak was Alonso de Salazar, a Spanish explorer, on August 21, 1526.
Bokak (as Taongi Islands) is claimed by the Government of the Dominion of Melchizedek, a government which some in the press have erroneously declared to exist only on the Internet. This claim may have been deemed unjustified by the Marshall Islands Government before the United Nations on April 23, 1998, however Taongi was not mentioned by name in their missive.
