American Samoa is located

the United States, whereby its citizens are U.S. nationals able to freely
enter the United States; an estimated 65,000 Samoans have migrated to the
West Coast and some 20,000 live in Hawaii. American Samoa has an
important tuna processing industry, and Pago Pago, a great natural
harbor, has dry dock and port facilities. The government is the biggest
