The CIA World Factbook lists them all separately and other books list them as they deem fit. In the Fischer Weltalmanach 2000, the islands to which links are provided above are listed as 'sonstige' (remaining). Jarig Bakker , 29 January 2000 By process of elimination from the list of US territories that have their own ISO codes, the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands consist of Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Island, Navassa Island, Palmyra Atoll, and Wake Atoll. Of these, Baker, Howland, Kingman, and Palmyra are uninhabited. US military, government, and government contractor personnel live on a temporary basis on Johnston, Midway, and Wake. Their citizenship is whatever it was when they arrivedmainly US. There are no indigenous people on any of them to have nationalities of their own.

Extractions: by Pascal Gross See also: The top blue is sky blue, the thin stripe is white for the beach and the turquoise (greenish blue) bottom stripe is for the color of thesurrounding ocean. The bird, a Laysan Albatross, is white and black. The flag will first be displayed this coming May 29th. It was designed for the Memorial Day 2000 event being held at the USS Arizona . The flag was designed by the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge staff with assistance of a National Park Service employee. As a number of people have pointed out there is no official documentation of sources and I believe this flag has no official status, other than that it will be used to represent Midway Island in a Memorial Day ceremony. To me the flag has the same status as a small US city's flag - it is accepted as the flag by the inhabitants even though the federal government hasn't given the flag official status. The flag used on the 29th will be 3:5 ratio.

Extractions: (territory of the US) Introduction Geography People Government ... Transnational Issues Midway Islands Introduction Top of Page Background: The US took formal possession of the islands in 1867. The laying of the trans-Pacific cable, which passed through the islands, brought the first residents in 1903. Between 1935 and 1947, Midway was used as a refueling stop for trans-Pacific flights. The US naval victory over a Japanese fleet off Midway in 1942 was one of the turning points of World War II. The islands continued to serve as a naval station until closed in 1993. Today the islands are a wildlife refuge open to the public.
