It is an unorganized, unincorporated territory belonging to (but not a part of) the US that is also claimed by the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

It did, however, have a large seabird population that attracted Japanese feather collecting.  The global demand for feathers and plumage was driven by the millinery industry and popular European fashion designs for hats, while other demand came from pillow and bedspread manufacturers
