About Wake Island
Wake Island is an atoll located in the center of the North Pacific Ocean, under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of the Interior, and is an unincorporated territory of the United States and an important military base. Located between Guam and Hawaii, the strategic location is extremely important, known as the "crossroads of the Pacific". The atoll consists of three islands with a total area of about 7.4 square kilometers, and has an airport runway of about 3,000 meters long, which is capable of landing and taking off large military aircraft. Historically, Wake Island was occupied by Japan during World War II and later recovered by US forces. Currently, there are very few permanent residents on the island, mainly military personnel and logistic personnel on rotation, with no permanent residents on the island, and the US Department of Defense is responsible for its administrative management. Wake Island is not only a forward deployment point for the United States military in the Western Pacific, but also an important transit point for the trans-Pacific shipping route, and is of great military and strategic significance.

Overview of Sao Tome and Principe (note on "Java")
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
