So this is going to be a fil a Week episode.

Now I've done a video on the states of the United States.

I did a video on the largest cities of the United States and by popular demand.

Now we're gonna d'oh the territories of the United States and just want to quickly say we've worked with these people before.

The good people at skill share have decided they would like to sponsor this video.

Make 2020 year, where you explore great new skills skills shares an online learning community that offers membership with meaning with so much to explore the offer classes designed for real life.

They have everything from health and wellness.

Like this video right here of investing basics for millennials.

Housing and alternative investments I'd be watching this type of video.

Is just 50 states, but we got a little bit more than that.

Besides the federal District of Washington, D.

Our capital, we also have five inhabited island territories across the Caribbean and Pacific.

In addition, we also have 10 uninhabited or temporarily inhabited islands and two disputed ones.

In this episode, we're gonna talk about the inhabited territories of the United States.

Territory is not a state, but it still falls under the overarching sovereignty of the United States.

All these territories kind of have their own level of self home rule.

S government and the military and a lot of their social service is still apply to these places, and they're divided kind of weirdly like There's Commonwealth.

There's organized, unorganized incorporated on incorporated territories.

In the meantime, let's start off American Samoa capital.

It is located in the region of Polynesia.

This territory is made up of five main Island's largest ones being Catalina and Manu.

Uh, they have two official languages, obviously English and Samoa in.

And it is an unincorporated, unorganized territory.

Out of all the territories is probably the weirdest one because the people here are not born as citizens, but rather USA Nationals, which basically means they're almost like citizens.

They can pretty much move about to the U.

And anywhere they want for an indefinite period of time.

And if they want citizenship, they can get it after like three months.

It's really not hard for these people to become citizens.

They have a representative del look it in the House of Representatives, but they cannot vote on presidential elections.

Basically, this territory kind of fell under the U.

Essentially, Germany took over the west part and the US took over the east part and in 1966 the U.

Actually kind of throughout the option if they wanted to join the independent state of Samoa.

But surprisingly, they actually said no and they prefer to stick with the U.

That's kind of how this territory is stuck with the US instead of joining Samoa, and it's really weird because they sit on the international date line.

So Western Samoa is an entire day ahead of American Samoa, even though they're only like less than 100 miles away.

The law off Aiga applies to Samoa, which means that nobody who has less than half Samoan blood can own land in this area.

They even have their own legislative community, called the Formal.

They can make their own laws, but large scale policies have to be approved by the U.

There the cousins of the independent state of Samoa, Basically and fun fact Simone's are kind of like a strong, powerful weapon of Americans.

According to Forbes, a Samoan male is about 56 times more likely to be drafted in the NFL than non Samoan players.

They're known for just being very big, strong people.

These guys are like the Pacific Island or Spartan Polynesians of the U.

This is located in the Pacific region off Micronesia.

These people are micronesians and it is an unincorporated organized territory.

So that means the people here do have citizenship.

It's basically one big island with a few small rocky islets divided into 19 municipal villages.

The motto is it's the place where America's Day begins due to the fact that it is in the 10 plus UTC zone.

So it's technically the earliest time zone area of U.

They do have a delegate to the House of Representatives and they can vote on committee meetings, but not floor votes.

S presidential elections, but they don't really have a seat in the Electoral College, so it doesn't really matter, kind of, but anyway, yeah, they have a strong Micronesian culture and heritage language of Guam and the Mariana Islands is tomorrow.
