Additionally, in order to correct a naming anomaly the GENC Standard specifies the remarks "Principal island: Tutuila; Includes Swains Island." while ISO 3166-1 specifies "Principal island: Tutuila; Includes Swain's Island."]]></genc:entryNotesOnNaming>
  <genc:entryNotesOnTerritory><![CDATA[The entry for this geopolitical entity is assigned the GENC status of 'Exception' because GENC Standard considers the geographic territory of American Samoa to be specifically excluded from the geographic territory of the entry named "UNITED STATES". Note that the ISO 3166/MA considers the United States as including the geographic territory of American Samoa; while ISO 3166-1 includes an entry named "AMERICAN SAMOA", ISO 3166-2 specifies a code element for American Samoa as a corresponding administrative subdivision (of type "outlying area") of the entry named "UNITED STATES" (see ISO 3166-1:2013, Clause 4.3 "Overlaps"; and ISO 3166-2:2013, Clause 4.1.2 (on subdivision).)]]></genc:entryNotesOnTerritory>
