Just for grins, I googled Biden Island and I saw this:
President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Approves Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Disaster Declaration

Then I googled and in addition to the history of the islands, I learned this:
"Labor controversies
The Northern Mariana Islands had successfully used its position as a free trade area with the U.S., while at the same time not being subject to the same labor laws. For example, the $3.05 per hour minimum wage in the commonwealth, which lasted from 1997 to 2007, was lower than in the U.S. and some other worker protections are weaker, leading to lower production costs. That allowed garments to be labeled "Made in USA" without having to comply with all U.S. labor laws. However, the U.S. minimum wage law signed by President George W. Bush on May 25, 2007, resulted in stepped increases in the Northern Marianas' minimum wage, which allowed it to reach the U.S. level in 2015.[71] The first step (to $3.55) became effective July 25, 2007, and a yearly increase of $0.50 will take effect every May thereafter until the CNMI minimum wage equals the nationwide minimum wage. However, a law signed by President Obama in December 2009 delayed the yearly increase from May to September. In 2018 the minimum wage finally reached $7.25, matching the U.S. federal minimum wage.[72]
The island's exemption from U.S. labor laws had led to many alleged exploitations, including recent claims of sweatshops, child labor, child prostitution and forced abortions.[73][74]"
and this:
Cinema
"A small independent cinema of Northern Mariana Islands, producing mostly documentary films, developed in the 21st century thanks to the efforts of the Commonwealth and of the Northern Marianas College. Films had already been shot in the islands in the 20th century by foreign producers.[83]
In 2002, a new § 2151 of the Commonwealth Code established within the Marianas Visitors Authority (MVA), a Commonwealth Film, Video and Media Office, also known as the Northern Mariana Islands Film Office, with the purpose of attracting foreign companies to produce movies in the Commonwealth and to develop a local cinema industry.[84]"
WHAT THE HELL WITH THE DOCUMENTARIES AND PRODUCTION COMPANIES? I think it's related to child trafficking and pornography. It just comes up too much.
And, I learned this:
"The Northern Mariana Islands does not have voting representation in the United States Congress, but, since 2009, has been represented in the U.S. House of Representatives by a delegate;[32] congressional delegates may participate in debates and serve on congressional committees but may not cast decisive votes on the House floor.[33]"

AND tangentially related, I learned that Biden's election team infiltrated Animal Crossing and actually created a Biden Island:
"Every detail of our strategy was designed so Biden-Harris constituents could show their support online– and eventually show up at the polls.
Over 150,000 Animal Crossing players visited the island, with many proclaiming that, not only was this “definitely made by a pro gamer” (The Washington Post) but that their “vote = secured.” While only the most passionate took the time to visit every nook and cranny of the island, a massive audience was exposed to it online through their content. Biden Island saw 20MM views across YouTube TikTok, and Twitch and was the #1 trending topic on Twitter in the weeks before the election. With zero media dollars spent and a newfound way of talking to young voters, Biden for President proved that changing how political parties campaigned could change the game."
