Product Description
In politics and in history, a colony is a territory underthe immediate political control of a state. For colonies inantiquity, city-states would often found their owncolonies. Some colonies were historically countries, whileothers were territories without definite statehood fromtheir inception. The metropolitan state is the state thatowns the colony. In Ancient Greece, the city that owned acolony was called the metropolis within its politicalorganization. Mother country is a reference to themetropolitan state from the point of view of citizens wholive in its colony. There is a United Nations list of Non- Self-Governing Territories. A colony is mostly ruled byanother state or can be run independently. Unlike a puppetstate or satellite state, a colony has no independentinternational representation, and its top-leveladministration is under direct control of the metropolitanstate. The term "informal colony" is used by somehistorians to describe a country which is under the defacto control of another state, although this descriptionis often contentious. ... Read more

Excerpt: Hagåtña, Guam -"Hagåt" (also romanized as haga', with a glottal stop instead of a syllable-final "t") means "blood" in the Chamorro/Chamoru language. The suffix "-ña" can be translated as either the possessive pronouns his, hers or its in English, or a signification of greater comparative degree, similar to some uses of the English suffix "-er". There is much speculation that the natives originally migrated from the village of Agat/Hagåt. Therefore, "Hagåtña" can be translated "his or her blood" possibly meaning "related to him, her or it", or it could be translated to what might roughly mean "more Hagåt", as in, an extension of the village of Hagåt. It could also mean "better Hagåt", or "more than, surpassing or superior to Hagåt" in a sense of being "more Hagåt than Hagåt itself". In 1998, the Guam Legislature changed the name from "Agana" back to the original Chamorro/Chamoru form. However, the name of the neighboring village Agana Heights, remains unchanged. Modern Hagåtña as seen from Fort Apugan, which overlooks the town.Hagåtña is located at the mouth of the Hagåtña river on Guam's west coast. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1 square mile (2.6 km²). The village is bounded by the sandy beaches of Agana Bay to the north, the Agana River and associated wetlands to the east, and a cliff (above which is the village of Agana Heights) to ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=291342 ...
