My bad, I meant anywhere the sun is directly overhead, which happens to be only in certain areas, but not just in Hawaii.
Hawaii is the only place in Merica that it happens, none of those other places exist.
~~Western~~ American Samoa exists, and is "part" of the US
You're thinking of American Samoa which is different from the Independent State of Samoa, formerly known as Western Samoa and a sovereign nation.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samoa https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Samoa
You're correct! I confused the two
Western Samoa is no longer... And how is it part of the US?
I was thinking of American Samoa. Edited
Also not part of the US
You try invading it, and see who's Army, Marines, Air Force, and Navy shows up to defend it.
I'll give that a shot... Does that mean the US also owns much of Europe and any country in the UN?
No, they are separate countries. American Samoa isn't. It isn't a state, but neither are Guam and Puerto Rico. They're still part of the US.
My bad, I looked up Western Samoa and got redirected to regular Samoa not American Samoa...
Hopefully the Kender is not too angry and won't "borrow" all my stuff.
No worries! Apparently conflating Samoa and American Samoa is just happening today!
