==Description==
Nett is one of the six municipalities located in the main island of [Pohnpei](/source/Pohnpei). It corresponds to the north-central sector of the island.  

The population was 6,639 as of 2010.<ref>[http://www.spc.int/prism/country/FM/stats/Publications/Census_Survey/2000_Census/FSM/Analytical%20Report/00NatlCenRept.pdf 2000 FSM Census of Population and Housing]</ref> Nett municipality formerly included [Kolonia](/source/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](/source/Kolonia), which is still claimed by Nett municipality as one of its ''kousapw''.

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