This paper presents a case study of traditional and contemporary settlement patterns of Majuro, the capital of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and discusses its vulnerability to such storm surges.
In 1979 a mere inundation of the CBD of the capital on Majuro Atoll left 5,000 homeless.
The physical development, coupled with the extra ordinary population increase on Majuro Atoll, caused by the location of the capital on the atoll, resulting internal migration and biological population growth, is coupled with a departure from the traditional settlement pattern.

It was only later that we heard of the irresolution, the incompetence and the bungling of those charged here [Singapore] with the duty of defending not merely Britain's military interests, but her very name.
Larger territorial units, in this case Malaysia, would be more economically viable than fragmented pieces of empire such as Singapore, which represented the type of "micro-state," as they became known, that everyone wanted to avoid.

The Australian Capital Territory, which includes the national capital Canberra, last month became the first of Australia's six states and two territories to legally recognize gay and lesbian relationships.
