It's a good question, and I'm not sure that Melanesia is as coherent an entity as Polynesia or Micronesia. Wikipedia identifies Fiji and New Guinea as Melanesian, and they certainly have a higher profile than any Micronesian island other than Guam and maybe Belau. Other Melanesian islands include the Solomons, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia. Oh, and Wikipedia says there's something called the Melanesian Spearhead Group that has had a trade treaty since 1993.
