WW3
The Northern Mariana Islands and Marshal Islands were defended by the United States through its naval patrols in Guam, along with U.S. Coast Guard Units, Tinian airfield and the Guam National Guard.

Maoist China simultaneity and gratuitously declared war on the USSR, Japan, Mongolia, Taiwan, S. Korea and USA.

the United States had made Guam high defense priority of the U.S. against a Red Chinese attack.

3 days after the NATO and Warsaw Pact nukes had fallen, the People's Liberation Army Navy enacted a blockade of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. They intended to capture Guam to cripple its air base and Northern Mariana Islands for distraction of U.S. forces fighting in South Korea.

Chinese attempted to blockade the island and land a force of 2,500 men. The initial amphibious assault only got as far as Santa Rita's ruins before they found out that it was an irradiated moonscape and began to die of heavy radiation sickens. The obviously limited invasion force only managed to get at most a few small footholds in the western part of Guam and never stepped ashore in the North Marinas or the Marshals.

After WW3
The TTPI members were immediately cut off from the rest of the world for several years. Dispute not being a major target it could not avoid some of its long term effects like the lack of fiscal and material help fro the USA, since the economy had remained mostly devoted to subsistence agriculture and fishing. Neither tourism nor foreign investment had played a great role in its economy.

Palau had uniquely survived fairly well due to local fishing, coconuts, clams, conchies and tropical fruits in the time after doomsday. A lost Taiwanese fishing boat, Japanese fishing boat, Australia yacht and Californian Yacht about a month after Doomsday and told the locals of what they knew, which was not much. The 16 fishermen and 8 yachtsmen then stayed.

The weather also collapsed between 1962 and 1965. It was first a bit colder for 6 about months, the normal for about 6 months and finally a bit warmer for about 18 months. 1965 was also more prone to tropical storms than usual.

The Journeys of Discovery
Nauru, Tuvalu and the Kiribati were contacted after about 6 moths as the traditional day to day inter island relations had only been temporally disrupted by the chaos of war.

It was descovered in 1978 that Guam was in ruins, radioactive and usless; so they gave up and left. The 6,000 serviours were moved to Palau over the next 10 years.

Fist Contact
This was with fishing boats the Philippines, PNG, Tokelau and Sulawesi in 1967. Others from the Soloman Islands, Vanuatu and Malaysia arrived in 1972.

Firther contact was made by TTPI explores re-discovered Tonga Wallis and Futuna, Fiji and Rotuma in 1977.

After a long time they were able to make contact with Australia, Taiwan, Brunei, both halves of Vietnam, Norfolk Island, American Samoa, Samoa, the Cook Islands, Niue and Japan 1982

Palau became a joint protectorate of PNG and the Philippines in 1977, until Australia also joined the chosen protecting powers in 1985.
