There are over a thousand Marshall Islands spread out over around two-dozen of the least resource rich coral atolls in Micronesia. And for an area of the ocean known for its resource poor islands, that is saying something. The Marshall Islands have not prospered overly much from the investments of New Hong Kong businessmen like the western islands, nor from the wild resort and intelligence industries that more southern islands boast. And even the United States military enclaves spread throughout Kwajalein Atoll bring only minimal money to the other islands. Their greatest industry is leasing small parcels of land to wealthy individuals who wish a quiet and secluded vacation destination for their families. Marshall Islanders do not allow outsiders to outright own land, but the small leases have allowed the various clan chiefs to maintain enough cash flow to provide for basic necessities amongst their people. They will never be rich, though, and they face a constant brain-drain as capable and driven youths leave their islands to find opportunity elsewhere in Micronesia and beyond.

The Mariana Islands host many corporate headquarters for businesses around globe, but they also sport one of the largest collections of freight harbors and transshipment warehouses on Earth and beyond. Ships ply their waters from the East African Coast, Australia, and even the Americas with cargo meant for the Jayapura, Colombo, and Panama City Elevators. Many Russian corporations even move cargo through on its way to their Severnyi Polyus Elevator. And the Mariana Islands are happy to give those corporations shipping items to the Singapore Elevator paperwork that proves to the Mainland Chinese that they never came anywhere near the Mariana Islands, for a modest paperwork fee of course. Ships flying nearly every flag on Earth pass through the Mariana Islands on a daily basis, making them a serious amount of money in total. Business is their business, and everybody who gives them money is welcomed with a smile.

The Mariana Islands are not hotbeds of tourism like so many other Micronesian Islands are. They are just as beautiful as many of those islands are, but you see very few people walking around in sandals and shorts while enjoying the beach life. Their business is business, and so you see business suits everywhere you go. The luxury hotels and convention centers spread throughout the Mariana Islands focus solely on providing the best locations and services for their corporate partners on Earth and beyond. Whether you wish to book a week-long retreat for the team that just finished a major contract with flying colors, or you are bringing the team leads together for a strategy meeting, the Mariana Islands has a place devoted entirely to your every requirement. Their business is business, and their every service comes with a smile.
