Northern Mariana Islands

== Northern Mariana Islands ==
The Northern Mariana Islands, officially the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI; Chamorro: Sankattan Siha Na Islas Mariånas), is one of five inhabited American insular areas. It is one of two territories with "Commonwealth" status; the other is Puerto Rico.[2] It consists of fifteen islands in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The Northern Mariana Islands and Guam form the Mariana Islands. The United States Department of the Interior cites a landmass of 183.5 square miles (475.26 km2).[3] According to the 2010 census, 53,883 people reside in the Northern Mariana Islands.[4] Only Saipan, Tinian, and Rota are inhabited.
The administrative center is Capital Hill, a village in northwestern Saipan. Because the island is governed as a single municipality, most publications consider Saipan the capital.
