Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over forty years now, the Northern Mariana Islands has governed itself as a "commonwealth" of the UnitedStates pursuant to the Northern Marianas Covenant. My first book, From Colonialism To Self-Government: TheNorthern Marianas Experience, was published in 2010.The Fundamental Issues Affecting the Northern Mariana Islands discusses in greater detail the politicalarrangement between the United States and the Northern Marianas. It highlights and discusses some ofthe fundamental issues affecting the Northern Marianas as a self-governing commonwealth within the Americanpolitical family. The first set of issues includes its geographical isolation, small land area, small population, lack of natural resources, and lack of capital required for economic development. The second set of issues relates to local self-governance and matters of qualification and competency of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) public officials, both elected and appointed.In order for the CNMI to succeed as a self-governing commonwealth, several fundamental matters have to be addressed and issues related to such matters have to corrected by its leaders. The first major subject relates to the fragile, insular economy of the CNMI. Its only viableindustry has been the visitor industry, which is buffeted often by natural disasters, regional and international financial crises, public health crises, and so forth. The second major subject relates to self-governance matters, which should be addressed through public education, seminars on government ethics, and active enforcement of the law, and so forth.Unless these fundamental issues are addressed and resolved, the CNMI experiment in self government might end up being a failure. And we should never allow this to happen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Micronesia is a region in the Pacific Ocean that is composed of thousands of small islands. These islands are divided into four groups: Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, and the Marshall Islands. The region is known for its diverse cultures, languages, and breathtaking natural beauty. Although it is one of the least populated regions on earth, its people have a rich history and unique identity. The region is home to many species of plants and animals that are endemic to the area, meaning they can only be found in Micronesia. Tourism is one of the major industries in Micronesia, with visitors drawn to its crystal clear waters, coral reefs, and exotic marine life. Despite its natural beauty, however, the region faces many challenges such as climate change, rising sea levels, and issues with waste management. Nonetheless, the people and governments of Micronesia are working together to address these challenges and protect the region's unique culture and natural resources for generations to come.
