When my business partner landed on Tinian to buy fuel, he needed to pee. He walked towards the tiny little airport building as they were fueling the airplane. A customs agent stopped him and said you have to stay with the airplane. He told the customs agent I need to use your restroom. I can just pee on the tarmac if you won't let me in the building. He had no luggage or anything in his hands, and he was dressed in shorts and a t-shirt.
The customs agent relented and let him use the facilities. He got right back in the airplane and left.
Tinian has a population of just over 2,000 people. Yet it is a country, part of Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
The USA fought a lot of battles to take those islands back from the Japanese. Lots of history of colonial occupation.
