Northern Mariana Islands

The Northern Mariana Islands are a U.S.

commonwealth in the western Pacific. Civic life reflects Chamorro and Carolinian communities, tourism, labor and immigration questions, military and regional issues, island infrastructure, local self-government, and the commonwealth’s relationship with the United States. Public decisions about health care, schools, ports, utilities, disaster recovery, and economic resilience can be felt quickly across small island communities. The sections ahead move from the Northern Mariana Islands’s civic backdrop to its actual representatives and government contacts.
