Extractions: By Alphabet : Encyclopedia A-Z N Related Category: Pacific Islands Political Geography Northern Mariana Islands [mAr E Pronunciation Key , commonwealth associated with the United States (2000 pop. 69,221), c.185 sq mi (479 sq km), comprising 16 islands (6 inhabited) of the Marianas chain (all except Guam ), in the W Pacific Ocean; formerly part of the U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. The islands lie E of the Philippines and S of Japan and extend 350 mi (563 km) from north to south. The most important are Saipan (capital), Rota, and Tinian . The northern islands are composed of volcanic rock, the southern islands of madrepore limestone covering a volcanic base. All the islands are mountainous, with the highest peak (3,166 ft/965 m) on Agrihan; there are active volcanoes on the islands. Most of the inhabitants are Chamorro, but there are some Carolinians and other Micronesians. Livestock, sugarcane, coffee, coconuts, and citrus fruits are the chief agricultural products. There are deposits of phosphate, sulfur, and manganese ore. Tourism, especially from Japan, is a major industry, employing roughly 10% of the workforce. Garment manufacturing and construction are also critical to the economy; clothing is the major export. The Northern Marianas receive substantial financial assistance from the United States.
