It is located southernmost of Mariana Archipelago but the country doesn't include the island of Guam. It consists of 19 island groups that are categorized broadly under the three main geographical divisions named: Durem, Lanu and Sapet. The capital city is Maisa and most populous city is Sangan.
It was a territory of Spanish East Indies in 1565 until 1898. After Spanish-American War, Guam were sold to the United States but the northern part of archipelago were sold to Germany. It was also attempt that southern part of archipelago were also sold to Germany but some people didn't agree because they want independence. During World War II, it became a Japanese territory following the loss of South Mariana in Battle of Maisa.
