    Long Island is part of the state of New York. It's not a distinct territory.
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    Although Palmyra Atoll in unorganized (meaning that it has no formal government), it is an incorporated territory.

    It's only 4.6 square miles in size.

    Palmyra Atoll was annexed for the second time in 1911 which meant that it was incorporated but when Hawaii became a state it was excluded.

    It is not at issue that the Constitution applied in its entirety to Palmyra between 1900 and 1959. There is no clear reason why the Constitution would not continue to apply today.
    ...
    It had been subject to theConstitution, and was a part of the United States. The Constitution had attached to it irrevocably. There are steps which can never be taken backward.

    OK asylum seekers. If you want your kids to become US citizens under the 14th Amendment, just have them be born there. Just remember that you have to get a bunch of officials out there to confirm that this was actually true and that the nearest thing in the wide blue nothingness is Napari in Kiribati which is 230 miles away.

    Ok, next question then.

    What are the names of the two original Spice Islands which were the only places where nutmeg, cloves and mace were traded?
