In this presidential democracy, the chief of state is the president of the United States and the head of government is the governor of the Northern Mariana Islands. The population of the Northern Mariana Islands is approximately 52,000 people (2017 estimate) and approximately 90% of the population lives on Saipan Island.
The first people to inhabit the Mariana Islands were from Southeast Asia. In 1668, the islands were colonized by the Spanish, but in 1899, when the Spanish withdrew from the Pacific, the islands were transferred to German authority. When World War I broke out, the Japanese took control of the Northern Mariana Islands and, thanks to the Treaty of Versailles, gained possession of them at the end of the war. During World War II the US invaded the islands, taking them from the Japanese and using them as important Allied bases. At the end of the war, they became part of US administration.
