US Territory Names

As I prepare the new template for managing states, territories, and districts (Washington DC), I wanted to finalize the territory names that we want to use.
I see from the Regional Coordinator page we have:
For Northern Mariana Islands, I see "mp" comes from the ISO 3166 code and Internet ID. I see from the List of U.S. state abbreviations they use MP here as well. I guess we should keep that entry as the abbreviation, and then on the actual page we can use the full name and have MP be a redirect to the full page name. Although it appears Waze has no data on that area (unless my links are on the wrong Live Map server), so not much we need to do there yet anyway.

- AS = American Samoa Live map of Tutuila, largest of the islands has no detail?
- GU = Guam Live map has no details?
- MP =?Northern Mariana Islands? Live map has no details?
- PR = Puerto Rico Live map is good.
- VI = (the US) Virgin Islands (or the Virgin Islands) Live map is good.
