God Bless the Northern Mariana Islands!

We have two territories in this island chain

Guam since 1898 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guam

and the Northern Marianas Islands (the subject of the article) since 1978 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Mariana_Islands

The islands are home to roughly 200,000 American citizens, an important airfield, and a very useful Navy base. They also play host to over a million tourists from Australia and the Far East each year.

The North Field on Tinian, located in the Mariana island chain, was the launch point for the atomic bombings on Japan during WWII.
