United States Minor Outlying Islands
The United States Minor Outlying Islands (USMOI) are a group of unincorporated territories of the United States located in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. This group includes islands such as Midway Atoll, Wake Island, and Johnston Atoll. These islands are primarily uninhabited and are used for various purposes, including wildlife conservation and military operations.
The USMOI are not part of any state and do not have a local government. They are administered by different federal agencies, such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Air Force. The islands are important for their ecological significance and strategic military locations.
