[Currently reading this](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40121985), which is a great and very readable history of US non-state possessions (starting with a brief history of the territories that became the lower 48 states).

One of the largest (if not the largest) total area of oceanic EEZ control. The only country that potentially has a larger EEZ is France. Depends if you count continental shelf control or not.
Also, the land area and ocean area that the US controls is roughly 1:1, which is sort of rare since most countries either have more land or more water. The US is both a land and sea power.

How to hide an empire is a great read. Imagine if the US had kept the Philippines. How about Venezuela now a days? What is the legal framework of their control over the oil finances?

I just think it’d be cool if they combined Puerto Rico with US Virgin Islands and Guam with the Northern Mariana Islands
