It is one of two territories with US "commonwealth" status; the other is Puerto Rico.〔Both may also be classified as unincorporated, organized territories of the United States.〕 It consists of fifteen islands in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The CNMI and Guam together comprise the Marianas archipelago. The United States Department of the Interior cites a landmass of .〔() 〕 According to the 2010 United States Census, 53,883 people were living in the CNMI at that time.〔() 〕 The vast majority of the population resides on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. The other islands of the Northern Marianas are sparsely inhabited; the most notable among these is Pagan, which for various reasons over the centuries has experienced major population flux but has formerly had residents numbering in the thousands. The administrative center is Capitol Hill, a village in northwestern Saipan. Because the island is governed as a single municipality, most publications consider Saipan the capital. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Northern Mariana Islands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
