However, now that I am a Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) annuitant, the only thing holding me back is finding a U.K. citizen to attest to my good moral character. I do not know any British Subjects here in the CNMI, and "family members" are excluded, which presumably precludes my Australian second cousins.
If anyone is familiar with some of my FlyerTalk posts over the past two decades, and is willing to attest to my character, please send me a Direct Message (DM), so we can discuss further by e-mail.
Check the tax rules before applying for a British passport. I don't think the UK has the same taxation system in the US. The US tax system is pretty insane that US citizens/long term green card holders are subject to US taxation even though they don't live in the US.
