Guam…that would fall under…what? North America extended islands? Central America? Or am I totally off? (Honestly, I have no idea where Guam is, although I could have sworn it’s around one of those areas. Man this is fighting a lot of ignorance for me. 🙂 I just hope I’m not the only one.) **Name in Bold Font** = Doper currently is in location. Name in Blue Font = Doper was born in location. Name in Red Font = Doper has lived in location at least once (but was not born in). Name in Green Font = Doper will be going to or returning back to location in future. Mixed colors/ **bolding** = Doper has more than one attributes to location If you are not labeled on the list as something…or, if your status ever changes,…OR if you want me to update something… **OR** if you want me to add on info about you, (because I only did the color schemes based on if you were clear on or specifically said where you were born, lived, were moving to, etc), just reply and I’ll add on/change/update any information! 🙂 If I’ve made any mistakes just tell me. Also, if you are bothered or don’t want to be listed on a certain location for any reason, just tell me and I’ll remove you.

Guam is an island in the Northern Mariana Islands, located north of Papua New Guinea, not too far east of the Philippines and west and slightly south of Hawaii. Here’s a [map](http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/au.htm). It is a U.S. territory. ---
