About us Send me a Brochure Tripbuilder (Shopping Cart) Send me a Quotation ... Pacific News Member of Culture Gallery Introduction ANGLONESIA Anglonesia is a neologism used here to refer to Australia New Zealand and the United States in the Pacific (ANZUS). The progress from colonialism to independence in the Pacific Islands region (both north and south of the equator) has not brought an end to the influence of the former colonial powers. Presently, there are ten territories or dependencies linked directly to an extraregional government, and five others are constrained in their foreign policies by the terms of their free associaton compacts. Like these territories, the independent states are also affected by the political, security and economic policies of the extraregional powers. There continues to be an overlap of interests between outsiders and islanders, which is likely to persist even as more island stated begin to exert their influence more and more within the region as well as globally.

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Northern Mariana Islands 'America's Best Kept Secret' - the Northern Marianas - may still be just that in the USA, but don't tell the Japanese. After getting the boot in WWII they're back with a vengeance - to play golf and shop duty free. Saipan may be turning into a package-tour nightmare, but it's still got its charms - turquoise waters, white sands, fine diving, snorkeling and hiking. If you really want to get away from the packagers, though, you'll need to hop over to laid-back Tinian or rustic Rota, where traditional island life still goes on and the resorts are only just now getting a foothold.

People People Language Dance and Art PEOPLE L earning about the ancient Chamorro and Carolinian culture has been of great interest to archeologists and to the people who live in the Marianas today. Much of what has been learned about Chamorro culture and traditions is from artifacts, legends and stories passed down from generation to generation and from drawings and journals of European missionaries written a thousand years ago. The earth and its fruits provided nourishment, shelter and medicine. Ancient Chamorros formed clans which followed matrilineal lines of descent. Common marriage was accepted and monogamy practiced until one of the parties decided to leave, which was also acceptable. As in many other early cultures, the role of women was to care for the family, weave baskets (kasse) and gather food. Men's roles included fishing, building homes, gardening, stonework and canoe-building. Homes were constructed of material found in the forest and erected atop huge latte stones. Latte stones are vertical pillars several feet high which support the rest of the house. Latte stones, made of limestone or volcanic rock, can still be seen today on the islands. They are still somewhat a mystery. Rota has a beautiful display of latte stones. Today, several business establishments have used the latte stone shape to add character to local architecture. Turtle shells and shell disk necklaces were made and used for decorative purposes as well as for local currency. Today shell jewelry is still important and widely used by residents and purchased by tourists.

Development Banking Division Development Corporation Division Qualifying Certificate Program Loan Programs ... Home Investing in the Northern Mariana Islands: A Commercial Crossroads of the Pacific A chain of 14 tropical islands, the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI) is the newest member of the American political family and the closest American flag associated area to Asia. The Commonwealth government encourages a free competitive marketplace in which businesses operate with a minimum of restraints. Living in the Marianas, one experiences a year-round summer climate with all of the sophisticated amenities of a tourist resort area, yet with a "small town" atmosphere, traditional family values, and friendly neighbors. To do business here means working in a multi-cultural community of local and international businesses. With the beautiful, unspoiled environment as the key attraction, tourism has been the primary force that has developed the Northern Marianas. However, a wide range of other business opportunities exist in these islands. A few of the significant investment incentives and advantages for businesses includes: Trading in U.S. dollar currency, with no restrictions on repatriation of profits or capital;

Sarigan and Tinian stretching over 375 miles north to south, with a land area of 181 square miles. There are three major inhabited islands, but most live on Saipan. For additional information see the following essays and publications The total land area of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, (CNMI), is 176.5 square miles. This is an area about equal in size to that of Barbados or the Seychelles. The CNMI 14 island chain extends about 400 nautical miles (460 statute miles) from the island of Rota in the south to the most northern island of Farallon De Pajaros. There are no cities in the Northern Marianas as normally considered nor is the term "town" usually applied to the island's congested areas. Rather the urbanized areas are usually referred to as villages or communities and none are incorporated with fixed, surveyed boundaries. Each of the islands of Saipan, Tinian and Rota are separate municipalities. Saipan is about 12.5 miles long and 5.5 miles wide and has a total
