Insular area
An insular area is a territory of the United States of America that is neither a part of one of the fifty U.S. states nor the U.S. federal district of Washington, D.C. Such areas are called "insular" from the Latin word insula ("island") because they were once administered by the War Department's Bureau of Insular Affairs, now the Office of Insular Affairs at the Department of the Interior. The term insular possession is also sometimes used.
Congress has extended citizenship rights by birth to all inhabited territories except American Samoa, and these citizens may vote and run for office in any U.S. jurisdiction in which they are residents. The people of American Samoa are U.S. nationals by place of birth, or they are U.S. citizens by parentage, or naturalization after residing in a State three months. Nationals are free to move around and seek employment within the United States without immigration restrictions but cannot vote or hold office outside of American Samoa.
Residents of insular areas do not pay U.S. federal income taxes but are required to pay other U.S. federal taxes such as import/export taxes, federal commodity taxes, social security taxes, etc. Individuals working for the federal government pay federal income taxes while all residents are required to pay federal payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare).

Insular cortex
In each hemisphere of the mammalian brain the insular cortex (often called insula, insulary cortex or insular lobe) is a portion of the cerebral cortex folded deep within the lateral sulcus (the fissure separating the temporal lobe from the parietal and frontal lobes).
The insulae are believed to be involved in consciousness and play a role in diverse functions usually linked to emotion or the regulation of the body's homeostasis. These functions include perception, motor control, self-awareness, cognitive functioning, and interpersonal experience. In relation to these, it is involved in psychopathology.
The insular cortex is divided into two parts: the larger anterior insula and the smaller posterior insula in which more than a dozen field areas have been identified. The cortical area overlying the insula toward the lateral surface of the brain is the operculum (meaning lid). The opercula are formed from parts of the enclosing frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes.

"Who is responsible for Taiwan's Defense?" Part 104 | Background to US Insular Area Studies| Taiwan Defense Series
Taiwan's defense has been a topic of discussion for decades, as tensions between Taiwan and China have remained high. With Taiwan's strategic location in East Asia and its importance as a hub for trade and commerce, it's no surprise that its defense has become a major concern for policymakers around the world. On our YouTube channel, we'll explore the question of who is responsible for Taiwan's defense and the various factors that contribute to the country's security.
One of the most important factors in Taiwan's defense is its relationship with China. Taiwan and China have a complex history, with both countries claiming to be the legitimate government of China. China has repeatedly threatened to use military force to reunify Taiwan with the mainland, leading to increased regional tensions. As such, Taiwan's defense strategy is largely focused on deterring China from taking aggressive action against the areas of “Formosa and the Pescadores.”
In recent years, Taiwan has also increased its focus on cybersecurity and information security as part of its defense strategy. With the rise of cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns, Taiwan recognizes that it must be prepared to defend itself against these types of threats as well. To this end, the “country” has invested heavily in developing its cybersecurity infrastructure. Whether Taiwan needs to allocate a substantial budget to coordinate with both military personnel and computer experts from other countries to effectively respond to cyber threats is another topic open to debate.
The premise of the current series of films is that for some entity to be legally responsible for Taiwan’s defense, it must be able to offer some international legal references that it is holding Taiwan’s sovereignty. In films #1 to #20 of this series, after the examination of all relevant data, we offer some initial conclusions, finding that neither the “Republic of China,” the “Taiwan governing authorities,” nor the yet-to-be-founded “Taiwan Republic” fulfill this condition.
However, adopting a humble attitude, and being willing to admit that our overview of this subject matter may not have been thorough enough, we have produced an additional sixty films analyzing this “Taiwan sovereignty” issue from multiple perspectives.
In the course of producing those films, we have also included some discussion of other related topics of interest. Still, further information and analysis are included on our “International Law Doctrines” webpage.
Much information on Taiwan is posted on the internet. However, our perspective is unique because we analyze the Taiwan issue from the point of view of the modern laws of war.
The modern laws of war are made up of three principal sources:
Lawmaking treaties or conventions, such as the 1907 Hague Conventions and their accompanying Regulations, the 1949 Geneva Conventions, etc.
Custom. Not all the laws of war have been incorporated in such treaties, and this shows the continuing importance of customary law, as established by the general practice of nations.
General Principles. Importantly, the principles of distinction, proportionality, and necessity, all of which are part of customary international law, always apply to the use of armed force.
In later films of this series, we review the historical background to the acquirement of US insular areas, as well as certain critical aspects of the Mexican-American War and the Spanish American War, to understand how, at the most fundamental level, the “responsibility for defense” of a particular geographic area arises.
Have we found the answer to the question of “Who is Responsible for Taiwan’s Defense?” For those visitors to our channel who are willing to give substantial weight to the many pieces of evidence, including examples of “established precedent,” which we have collected, the answer will probably be Yes. For those visitors to our channel who insist that international legal standards and customary norms do not apply to a discussion of Taiwan, China, and their interrelationships with the world community, the answer will probably be No.

In addition to YouTube, we will also be posting this series of films on additional video platforms.

For those visitors to our channel who insist that international legal standards and customary norms do not apply to a discussion of Taiwan, China, and their interrelationships with the world community, the answer will probably be No.

Insular area
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
An insular area of the United States is a U.S. territory that is neither a part of one of the 50 states nor of a Federal district. Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution grants to United States Congress the responsibility of overseeing these territories, of which there are currently 14—three in the Caribbean Sea and 11 in the Pacific Ocean. These territories are classified by whether they are incorporated (by Congress extending the full body of the Constitution to the territory as it applies to the several states), and whether they have an organized territorial government established by the U.S. Congress through an Organic Act. All territories but one are unincorporated, and all but four are considered to be unorganized. Five U.S. territories have a permanent, nonmilitary population. Each of them has a civilian government, a constitution, and enjoys some degree of local political autonomy.
Congress has extended citizenship rights by birth to all inhabited territories except American Samoa, and these citizens may vote and run for office in any U.S. jurisdiction in which they are residents. The people of American Samoa are U.S. nationals by place of birth, or they are U.S. citizens by parentage, or naturalization after residing in a State for three months. Nationals are free to move around and seek employment within the United States without immigration restrictions but cannot vote or hold office outside American Samoa.

"Who is responsible for Taiwan's Defense?" Part 106 | US Insular Area Studies | Taiwan Defense Series
Taiwan's defense has been a topic of discussion for decades, as tensions between Taiwan and China have remained high. With Taiwan's strategic location in East Asia and its importance as a hub for trade and commerce, it's no surprise that its defense has become a major concern for policymakers around the world. On our YouTube channel, we'll explore the question of who is responsible for Taiwan's defense and the various factors that contribute to the country's security.
One of the most important factors in Taiwan's defense is its relationship with China. Taiwan and China have a complex history, with both countries claiming to be the legitimate government of China. China has repeatedly threatened to use military force to reunify Taiwan with the mainland, leading to increased regional tensions. As such, Taiwan's defense strategy is largely focused on deterring China from taking aggressive action against the areas of “Formosa and the Pescadores.”
In recent years, Taiwan has also increased its focus on cybersecurity and information security as part of its defense strategy. With the rise of cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns, Taiwan recognizes that it must be prepared to defend itself against these types of threats as well. To this end, the “country” has invested heavily in developing its cybersecurity infrastructure. Whether Taiwan needs to allocate a substantial budget to coordinate with both military personnel and computer experts from other countries to effectively respond to cyber threats is another topic open to debate.
The premise of the current series of films is that for some entity to be legally responsible for Taiwan’s defense, it must be able to offer some international legal references that it is holding Taiwan’s sovereignty. In films #1 to #20 of this series, after the examination of all relevant data, we offer some initial conclusions, finding that neither the “Republic of China,” the “Taiwan governing authorities,” nor the yet-to-be-founded “Taiwan Republic” fulfill this condition.
However, adopting a humble attitude, and being willing to admit that our overview of this subject matter may not have been thorough enough, we have produced an additional sixty films analyzing this “Taiwan sovereignty” issue from multiple perspectives.
In the course of producing those films, we have also included some discussion of other related topics of interest. Still, further information and analysis are included on our “International Law Doctrines” webpage.
Much information on Taiwan is posted on the internet. However, our perspective is unique because we analyze the Taiwan issue from the point of view of the modern laws of war.
The modern laws of war are made up of three principal sources:
Lawmaking treaties or conventions, such as the 1907 Hague Conventions and their accompanying Regulations, the 1949 Geneva Conventions, etc.
Custom. Not all the laws of war have been incorporated in such treaties, and this shows the continuing importance of customary law, as established by the general practice of nations.
General Principles. Importantly, the principles of distinction, proportionality, and necessity, all of which are part of customary international law, always apply to the use of armed force.
In later films of this series, we review the historical background to the acquirement of US insular areas, as well as certain critical aspects of the Mexican-American War and the Spanish American War, to understand how, at the most fundamental level, the “responsibility for defense” of a particular geographic area arises.
Have we found the answer to the question of “Who is Responsible for Taiwan’s Defense?” For those visitors to our channel who are willing to give substantial weight to the many pieces of evidence, including examples of “established precedent,” which we have collected, the answer will probably be Yes. For those visitors to our channel who insist that international legal standards and customary norms do not apply to a discussion of Taiwan, China, and their interrelationships with the world community, the answer will probably be No.

Insular area
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
An insular area of the United States is a U.S. territory that is neither a part of one of the 50 states nor of a Federal district. Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution grants to United States Congress the responsibility of overseeing these territories, of which there are currently 14—three in the Caribbean Sea and 11 in the Pacific Ocean. These territories are classified by whether they are incorporated (by Congress extending the full body of the Constitution to the territory as it applies to the several states), and whether they have an organized territorial government established by the U.S. Congress through an Organic Act. All territories but one are unincorporated, and all but four are considered to be unorganized. Five U.S. territories have a permanent, nonmilitary population. Each of them has a civilian government, a constitution, and enjoys some degree of local political autonomy.
Congress has extended citizenship rights by birth to all inhabited territories except American Samoa, and these citizens may vote and run for office in any U.S. jurisdiction in which they are residents. The people of American Samoa are U.S. nationals by place of birth, or they are U.S. citizens by parentage, or naturalization after residing in a State for three months. Nationals are free to move around and seek employment within the United States without immigration restrictions but cannot vote or hold office outside American Samoa.

"Who is responsible for Taiwan's Defense?" Part 106 | US Insular Area Studies | Taiwan Defense Series
Taiwan's defense has been a topic of discussion for decades, as tensions between Taiwan and China have remained high. With Taiwan's strategic location in East Asia and its importance as a hub for trade and commerce, it's no surprise that its defense has become a major concern for policymakers around the world. On our YouTube channel, we'll explore the question of who is responsible for Taiwan's defense and the various factors that contribute to the country's security.
One of the most important factors in Taiwan's defense is its relationship with China. Taiwan and China have a complex history, with both countries claiming to be the legitimate government of China. China has repeatedly threatened to use military force to reunify Taiwan with the mainland, leading to increased regional tensions. As such, Taiwan's defense strategy is largely focused on deterring China from taking aggressive action against the areas of “Formosa and the Pescadores.”
In recent years, Taiwan has also increased its focus on cybersecurity and information security as part of its defense strategy. With the rise of cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns, Taiwan recognizes that it must be prepared to defend itself against these types of threats as well. To this end, the “country” has invested heavily in developing its cybersecurity infrastructure. Whether Taiwan needs to allocate a substantial budget to coordinate with both military personnel and computer experts from other countries to effectively respond to cyber threats is another topic open to debate.
The premise of the current series of films is that for some entity to be legally responsible for Taiwan’s defense, it must be able to offer some international legal references that it is holding Taiwan’s sovereignty. In films #1 to #20 of this series, after the examination of all relevant data, we offer some initial conclusions, finding that neither the “Republic of China,” the “Taiwan governing authorities,” nor the yet-to-be-founded “Taiwan Republic” fulfill this condition.
However, adopting a humble attitude, and being willing to admit that our overview of this subject matter may not have been thorough enough, we have produced an additional sixty films analyzing this “Taiwan sovereignty” issue from multiple perspectives.
In the course of producing those films, we have also included some discussion of other related topics of interest. Still, further information and analysis are included on our “International Law Doctrines” webpage.
Much information on Taiwan is posted on the internet. However, our perspective is unique because we analyze the Taiwan issue from the point of view of the modern laws of war.
The modern laws of war are made up of three principal sources:
Lawmaking treaties or conventions, such as the 1907 Hague Conventions and their accompanying Regulations, the 1949 Geneva Conventions, etc.
Custom. Not all the laws of war have been incorporated in such treaties, and this shows the continuing importance of customary law, as established by the general practice of nations.
General Principles. Importantly, the principles of distinction, proportionality, and necessity, all of which are part of customary international law, always apply to the use of armed force.
In later films of this series, we review the historical background to the acquirement of US insular areas, as well as certain critical aspects of the Mexican-American War and the Spanish American War, to understand how, at the most fundamental level, the “responsibility for defense” of a particular geographic area arises.
Have we found the answer to the question of “Who is Responsible for Taiwan’s Defense?” For those visitors to our channel who are willing to give substantial weight to the many pieces of evidence, including examples of “established precedent,” which we have collected, the answer will probably be Yes. For those visitors to our channel who insist that international legal standards and customary norms do not apply to a discussion of Taiwan, China, and their interrelationships with the world community, the answer will probably be No.

In addition to YouTube, we will also be posting this series of films on additional video platforms.

On Thursday, March 4, 2021, the Committee on Natural Resources Office of Insular Affairs held a remote legislative hearing on Discussion Draft H.R.____, “Insular Area Climate Change Act.”
Insular area
An insular area is a territory of the United States of America that is neither a part of one of the fifty U.S. states nor the U.S. federal district of Washington, D.C. Such areas are called "insular" from the Latin word insula ("island") because they were once administered by the War Department's Bureau of Insular Affairs, now the Office of Insular Affairs at the Department of the Interior. The term insular possession is also sometimes used.
Congress has extended citizenship rights by birth to all inhabited territories except American Samoa, and these citizens may vote and run for office in any U.S. jurisdiction in which they are residents. The people of American Samoa are U.S. nationals by place of birth, or they are U.S. citizens by parentage, or naturalization after residing in a State three months. Nationals are free to move around and seek employment within the United States without immigration restrictions but cannot vote or hold office outside of American Samoa.
Residents of insular areas do not pay U.S. federal income taxes but are required to pay other U.S. federal taxes such as import/export taxes, federal commodity taxes, social security taxes, etc. Individuals working for the federal government pay federal income taxes while all residents are required to pay federal payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare).
