The Marshall Islands joined the United Nations on September 17, 1991.
 Although the Marshall Islands are sovereign, the Republic is bound by a Compact of Free Association with the United States.
 The Marshall Islands show overwhelming support for the United States.
 On 13 key issues in 2008, the Marshall Islands matched the vote of the United States 100% of the time.
 In 2015, however, the Marshall Islands voted to condemn the US embargo over Cuba.
 The motion at the United Nations was supported by 191 member states, with two votes against (the United States and Israel) and no country abstaining.
Typhoon Nina, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Sisang, was the most intense typhoon to strike the Philippines since Typhoon Irma in 1981.
 Typhoon Nina originated from an area of convection near the Marshall Islands in mid-November 1987.
 It gradually became better organized, and on November 19, was first classified as a tropical cyclone.
 Moving west-northwest, Nina attained tropical storm intensity that evening.
 Late on November 20, Nina passed through the Chuuk Lagoon.
 After a brief pause in intensification, Nina intensified into a typhoon on November 22.
 Two days later, the typhoon intensified suddenly, before attaining its peak 10 minute intensity of 165 km/h .
 During the afternoon of November 25, Nina moved ashore in southern Luzon at the same intensity.
 It gradually weakened over land, before entering the South China Sea and turning to the north.
 By November 30, Nina dissipated.
Typhoon Mireille, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Rosing, was the costliest typhoon on record, striking Japan in September 1991.
 The 20th named storm of the 1991 Pacific typhoon season, Mireille formed on September 13 from the monsoon trough near the Marshall Islands.
 It moved westward for several days as a small system, steered by the subtropical ridge to the north.
 The storm rapidly intensified to typhoon status on September 16, and several days later passed north of Saipan in the Northern Marianas Islands.
 Mireille intensified further after deleterious effects from a nearby tropical storm subsided.
 On September 22, the American-based Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) estimated maximum 1‑minute sustained winds of 240 km/h (150 mph), and on the next day, the official Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) estimated 10‑minute sustained winds of 185 km/h (115 mph).
 The typhoon weakened slightly while turning northward, passing just east of Miyako-jima and later to the west of Okinawa.
 On September 27, Mireille made landfall near Nagasaki in southwestern Japan with winds of 175 km/h (110 mph), the strongest since Typhoon Nancy in 1961.
 The storm accelerated to the northeast through the Sea of Japan, moving over Hokkaido before becoming extratropical on September 28.
 The remnants of Mireille continued to the east, passing through the Aleutian Islands of Alaska on October 1.
Typhoon Hester was a severe typhoon that formed in the 1952 Pacific typhoon season and continued into January 1953.
 As the twenty-ninth storm and twentieth typhoon of the season, it was first tracked by Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) near Marshall Islands as a tropical storm on December 27.
 Hester quickly became a typhoon and rapidly intensified.
 Near the end of the year, Hester became a Category 5 typhoon on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale south of Guam.
 The typhoon soon weakened quickly as it curved eastward and sped up.
 It weakened into a tropical storm on January 4, and JTWC ceased tracking it hours later.
Ebon Atoll (Marshallese: Epoon , ) is a coral atoll of 22 islands in the Pacific Ocean, forming a legislative district of the Ralik Chain of the Marshall Islands.
 Its land area is 5.75 km2 , and it encloses a deep lagoon with an area of 104 km2 .
 A winding passage, the Ebon Channel, leads to the lagoon from the southwest edge of the atoll.
 Ebon Atoll is approximately 155 km south of Jaluit, and it is the southernmost land mass of the Marshall Islands, on the southern extremity of the Ralik Chain.
 In documents and accounts from the 1800s, it was also known as Boston, Covell's Group, Fourteen Islands, and Linnez.
Typhoon Amy was an intense and deadly tropical cyclone that struck areas of the central Philippines in December 1951.
 Impacting the archipelago during the 1951 eruption of Mount Hibok-Hibok, Amy exacerbated the effects of the volcano, greatly increasing the number of resulting deaths.
 The fifteenth named storm and fourteenth typhoon within the western Pacific Ocean that year, Amy developed from an area of low pressure near the Kwajalein Atoll on December 3.
 Tracking in a general westward direction, the storm quickly intensified to reach typhoon intensity the next day.
 However, the typhoon's asymmetricity resulted in a fluctuation of intensity over the following few days.
 Afterwards, Amy intensified to reach its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 220 km/h (140 mph) and a minimum barometric pressure of 950 mbar (hPa; 28.05 inHg) on December 8.
 Over the ensuing two days, Amy moved over several islands in the central Philippines before emerging in the South China Sea on December 11 as the equivalent of a minimal typhoon.
 Shortly after, the tropical cyclone executed a tight anticyclonic loop while oscillating in strength several times before eventually weakening and dissipating on December 17, just east of Vietnam.
Typhoon Fengshen was the strongest storm of the 2002 Pacific typhoon season.
 It developed on July 13 from the monsoon trough near the Marshall Islands, and quickly intensified due to its small size.
 By July 15, Fengshen attained typhoon status, and after initially moving to the north, it turned toward the northwest.
 On July 18, the typhoon reached its peak intensity of 185 km/h (115 mph ), according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
 The Joint Typhoon Warning Center estimated peak winds of 270 km/h (165 mph ), and the agency estimated that Fengshen was a super typhoon for five days.
 This broke the record for longest duration at that intensity, previously set by Typhoon Joan in 1997, and which was later tied by Typhoon Ioke in 2006.
Kwajalein Atoll ( ; Marshallese: Kuwajleen ) is part of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI).
 The southernmost and largest island in the atoll is named Kwajalein Island, which its majority English-speaking residents (about 1,000 mostly U.S. civilian personnel) often called by the shortened name, Kwaj .
 The total land area of the atoll amounts to just over 6 mi2 .
The Republic of the Marshall Islands has a commercial fishery that targets bigeye ("Thunnus obesus") and yellowfin ("Thunnus albacares") tuna using pelagic longline fishing gear.
 There were 55 longline vessels licensed to fish in the Republic of the Marshall Islands Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in 2011, of which 4 were Marshall Islands-flagged and 51 were foreign-licensed vessels, including 22 Chinese-flagged, 16 Japanese-flagged, 11 Federated States of Micronesia-flagged, and 2 Taiwan-flagged.
 The Japanese-flagged longliners land their catch in Japan; the other 39 vessels were domestically-based (i.e., based from the Marshall Islands seaport at Majuro, the State's capitol).
 In 2011, the Marshall Islands longline fleet had reported landings of principal market species of 259 mt of bigeye tuna, 99 mt of yellowfin tuna, 37 mt of blue marlin, 7 mt of black marlin, 4 mt of albacore tuna, and 3 mt of broadbill swordfish (MIMRA, 2012).
 Fresh chilled bigeye and yellowfin tuna is exported primarily to markets in the U.S., China and Canada, and frozen tuna and incidental market species are exported to China and marketed locally.
Leroij Atama Zedkaia (1931 – November 19, 2010) was the Marshallese paramount chief, or Leroijlaplap, of Majuro.
 Leroij Zedkaia spearheaded the movement to break the Marshall Islands away from the rest of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands and form the independent Republic of the Marshall Islands.
 She was also the mother of Jurelang Zedkaia, who has served as the President of the Marshall Islands from 2009 to 2012.
 Leroij is a title by a female paramount chief, or Leroijlaplap, in the Marshall Islands.
