    Not really, Guam and America Samoa are the same status and they have their own forum. Aruba has the same status with Netherlands but its not in Netherlands subforum.

    I would think this section is only for the 50 states + DC.

    The U.S. Virgin Islands doesn't have its own forum though so where should I have put it, especially when Coral World is under the US tag?
