The aim of this paper is to examine one of the divided nations,the Samoas in the Pacific. The Samoan Archipelago is divided into twomicrostates: Western Samoa, an independent country; and AmericanSamoa, a US territory. Although they recognize themselves as a nation,they are not interested in unification at all. Although the separationhas created differences in their modern administrative organizations,their educational systems, and their degrees of modernization, the mainreason for their different attitudes toward unification lies in the realistpolitics(Realpolitik) of the microstates. In the case of the Samoasnationalism does not provide the power to recover the original unitednation.
