    What is the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands? Don't say Saipan, that's the name of an island and not of a town/city. It seems as the capital is divided into two or three: Capitol Hill, Susupe, maybe also Garapan. Who knows?

    		From everything I've read, Saipan is BOTH the largest island AND capital of the Northern Mariana Islands. As an island group, it has an island as its' capital, not a specific city.

    		Well, Garapan (on Saipan Island) was the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands under Japanese mandate and also during the post war US mandate. Some sources say that Capitol Hill (sometimes spelled Capital Hill) now is the legislative capital while Susupe is the judicial capital.It is correct that (to make it simpler) Saipan is often referred to as the capital. But I don't think this is 100% correct.
