Saipan (IPA:[saɪ'pæn],[saɪ'pɑn],or ['saɪpæn] in English) is the largest island and capital of the United States Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI),a chain of 15 tropical islands belonging to the Marianas archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean (15°10’51”N,145°45’21”E) with a total area of 115.39 km² (44.55 sq mi).The 2000 census population was 62,392.
Located at latitude of 15.25° north and longitude of 145.75° east,about 200 km (120 mi) north of Guam,Saipan is about 20 km (12.5 mi) long and 9 km (5.5 mi) wide.It is a popular tourist destination in the Pacific.
The western side of the island is lined with sandy beaches and an offshore coral reef which creates a large lagoon.The eastern shore is composed primarily of rugged rocky cliffs and a reef.Its highest point is a limestone covered mountain called Mount Tapochau at 474 m (1,554 ft).Many people consider Mount Tapochau to be an extinct volcano,but is in fact a limestone formation.To the north of Mount Tapochau towards Banzai Cliff is a ridge of hills.Mount Achugao,situated about 2 miles North,has been interpreted to be a remnant of a stratified composite volcanic cone whose Eocene center was not far north of the present peak.
Besides English,the indigenous Chamorro language is spoken by approximately 19 percent of the inhabitants.The current governor of the CNMI is Benigno Fitial,who is the successor of Juan Babauta.The island also has many other large,strongly defined lingual and ethnic groups because of the large percentage of contract workers (60% of total population,as of 2001) from China,Bangladesh,the Philippines,Thailand,Vietnam,and Cambodia.In addition,a large percentage of the island's population includes first-generation immigrants from Japan,China,and Korea,and immigrants from many of the other Micronesian islands.
