as the norse domination of the west coast of scotland advanced, iona became part of the kingdom of the isles. the norse "rex plurimarum insularum" amlaíb cuarán died in 980 or 981 whilst in "religious retirement" on iona. nonetheless the island was sacked twice by his successors, on christmas night 986 and again in 987. although iona was never again important to ireland, it rose to prominence once more in scotland following the establishment of the kingdom of scotland in the later 9th century; the ruling dynasty of scotland traced its origin to iona, and the island thus became an important spiritual centre for the new kingdom, with many of its early kings buried there. however, a campaign by magnus barelegs led to the formal acknowledgement of norwegian control of argyll, in 1098.

administratively, the cnmi is divided into four municipalities:









































the northern islands (north of saipan) form the northern islands municipality.









































the three main islands of the southern islands form the municipalities of saipan, tinian, and rota, with uninhabited aguijan forming part of tinian municipality.









































because of volcanic threat, the northern islands have been evacuated. human habitation was limited to agrihan, pagan, and alamagan, but population varied due to various economic factors, including children's education. the 2010 census showed no residents in northern islands municipality and the northern islands' mayor office is located in "exile" on saipan.
