Guam takes its place on the front lines with China very seriously, but all work and no play would quickly result in an extremely unhappy populace. Which is one reason for Guam’s heavy emphasis on tourism. Their climate is beautiful, their beaches impeccably maintained, and their hotels are some of the best money can build on Earth and beyond. And they maintain a hard ten percent of all rooms permanently available for servicemen in need of a serious prescription of relaxation after long days or weeks of defending Guam from Chinese attacks. Paid for by the Guam Defense Force, and handed out as needed or wanted based on availability. Mixed in with the tourists just coming to have fun and see the sights, the island brings in enough money to maintain a healthy economy independent of the military industrial complex It also hosts an impressive grey market where you can buy anything the smugglers can bring in from Chinese ports. After the boats are carefully scanned by cybernetic sniffers to make certain they have no computer products onboard. The island government turns a blind eye to anything else, a fact that makes citizens and visitors alike extremely happy.
