[SAIPAN] The Design Is Very Guam

Unincorporated Territories of ‘MERICA! There are a handful of them islands and I’ve only been to four so far, all of them vestiges of colonialism: two in the Caribbean; another pair in the Pacific. Of the four, only the US Virgin Islands (former Danish West Indies) is not a by-product of the Spanish-American War, having been sold by Denmark to the US two decades later. Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, our close neighbors in the Philippine Sea, changed hands from Spanish to American the same time we and Puerto Rico did. And then we became independent. The three of them never did.
