American Samoa is administratively divided into three districts (Western, Eastern and Manuʻa) and two unorganized atolls (Swains Island and Rose Atoll). The districts are subdivided into 15 counties,Template:Efn which are composed of 76 villages.[1]

For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau counts the three districts and two unorganized atolls as five county equivalents, while treating the actual counties as minor civil divisions.[2]

American Samoa has only one U.S. ZIP code: 96799.[3]

Local government structure

Amata Coleman Radewagen's congressional website said the following about American Samoa's districts:[9]

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

Each [district] is administered by a district governor who is appointed by the territorial governor. To be qualified as a district governor, an individual must hold a matai title within the district to which he/she is to be appointed.[9]

The U.S. National Park Service says the following about the structure of villages in American Samoa:[10]

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

In general each village is made up of a group of aiga (extended families) which include as many relatives as can be claimed. Each aiga is headed by a matai (chief) who represents the family on all matters including the village council, or fono. Matais hold title to all assets of the aigas, or families, they represent and are responsible for law enforcement and punishment of infractions occurring in their villages. The fono consists of the matais of all the aiga associated with the village. The highest chief of the matais of all the village aigas is the highest chief or the aliʻi and heads the fono. Also, each village has a pulenuʻu (somewhat like a police chief or mayor) and one or more talking chiefs, tulafale."[10]
