According to the CIA World Factbook, the Northern Mariana Islands are a commonwealth of the United States of America. The political system mirrors that of the United States, in that there are three branches of government: the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The Islands have a locally-elected governor and lieutenant governor that run the executive branch. While American President Barack Obama is the formal chief of state, Governor Benigno R. Fitial, reelected in 2006, acts as the head of the government.
The country is typically divided into 50 states. Additionally, it includes territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Each state has its own government and laws, while the territories have varying degrees of autonomy.
