CNMI Government

The CNMI Government refers to the government of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory in the Pacific. It functions similarly to a state government, with its own elected leaders, laws, and agencies responsible for local services like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. While it operates independently in many areas, some issues, such as defense and federal funding, are managed in partnership with the U.S. federal government. The CNMI Government aims to serve its residents' needs while balancing local autonomy with federal oversight.
