Ok, so I know Japan's pretty much in the drek, and the Phillipines got libereated (in a sense), but what about this little patch of coral that I'm calling home?
I don't recall ANYTHING being mentioned about Guam in Cyberpirates. Are they still a UCAS territory? :) Did they become an extenstion of the Phillipines? :( There's a rather large Naval base and air field here, along with a nice navel munitions storage here, so... what??? :| Oh, and else on what happened to the smaller islands around here would be helpful too... |

Sharing your curiosity. I wish I had answers to share ... but speculation-wise, becoming part of the Phillipines - or possibly even of Indonesia! - isn't really stretching (sigh).

TimeKeeper- you the same one from U-P?
Anyways, I think the UCAS would hold onto it, due to the strategic effects and the lack of a native population that would rise up. |

I could see the entire thing being annexed by a Corp.
Military sells off bases all the time. Nice base though, I love Anderson. |

Maybe they did like Gitmo and sold it off to Ares?

Nah, Cuba's still a pretty easy-going dictatorship with the trappings of Communism. However the UCAS transfered their lease of Guantanamo Bay over to Ares since at that time they were having some problems - like the country splitting apart IIRC - and they figured if they couldn't hold onto it, better someone they were firendly with have it instead.
