Scenarios about 'us territories'
The political entities under United States sovereignty that are not part of any state, including Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands. These territories, acquired through various means including the Spanish-American War and other agreements, exist in a unique constitutional status where residents are U.S. citizens or nationals but have limited representation in federal government.
