Unorganized, unincorporated territory:
„American Sāmoa is […] the only US territory that is politically and legally classified as “unorganized” and “unincorporated” because, although it has a legislature (Fono) and an elected governor, the operation of the civil government is not the result of an Organic Act. […]
An Organic Act is an act of the US Congress that establishes a territory within the US body-politic or what can be labeled as being within the “domestic sphere.” (76) American Samoa was never destined to become a state.
