Guam is a separate territory from the Northern Mariana Islands. The CNMI is comprised of 3 populated islands: Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. Guam is part of the Marianas geographically, but has been politically separate from the other islands since the Spanish American War.

The Commonwealth of the NMI does not include Guam. Guam is part of the archipelago of the Marianas Islands but is politically a separate entity.

So, I wonder, who took massive back-handers in order to get granted the sole casino license on Saipan in 2014, despite having never built or operated a casino before.

Someone, made a load of money to sanction that deal.

Magellan called it the Island of Thieves – it hasn’t improved much since then.

“The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) comprises Saipan and Guam and as one of the US’s remotest territories falls under US jurisdiction.” — WRONG!

The CNMI and Guam, although connected geographically and culturally, are completely separate politically. The CNMI is comprised of all the islands NORTH of Guam in the Marianas archipelago; hence, the Commonwealth of the NORTHERN Mariana Islands (CNMI).

The unincorporated U.S. Territory of Guam (pop. approx. 170,000) has its own government and nonvoting delegate in Congress. The CNMI (pop. approx. 60,000) has its own delegate.
