Civics test answers by state
Northern Mariana Islands
Four questions on the test have a different answer depending on where you live. These are the answers for the Northern Mariana Islands.
Who is one of your state's U.S. senators now?
The Northern Mariana Islands has no U.S. senators.
Only the 50 states elect senators, so that is the answer the officer expects here.
Name your U.S. representative.
Kimberlyn King-Hinds
The Northern Mariana Islands elects one member of the House for the whole territory, so there is a single answer. A delegate takes part in the work of the House but does not vote on the floor; saying that the Northern Mariana Islands has no voting representative is also accepted.
Who is the governor of your state now?
Arnold Palacios
The governor leads the executive branch of the Northern Mariana Islands, the way the President does for the country. USAGov keeps the current name at usa.gov.
What is the capital of your state?
Saipan
The Northern Mariana Islands is not a state, so the answer is the capital of the territory (1 CMC § 601).
