British territory
There is, theoretically, no lower limit of people for a territory to become a state. In Australia, the Northern Territory could become a state, and it would be a fairly straightforward matter. Australia's constitution of 1901 did (and does) allow for the admission of new states into Australia. Section 121 of the constitution states that all that is required for a new state (or, in this case, for a territory to be declared a state) is for the Federal Parliament to agree. This even means that the Parliament could admit the Northern Territory as a state whether or not the NT agreed to it.
Medieval countries that still exist include England, Scotland, Portugal, France, Denmark and others. Countries that have become parts of something else include Navarre, Andorra, Leon, Castile, the Republic of Venice, and others. Countries that have gone out of existence and had territory now included in a number of other countries include the Carolingian Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Holy Roman Empire. I can think of one country that existed in the Middle Ages, went out of existence, and now exists again, which is Poland.

The most important foreign-held territory during 1804 was France's hold over a good third of the land. However, in that year they sold it all to America in what's known as the Louisiana Purchase.
It hasn't become a province yet, it is still a territory.
In the late 18th century, European countries such as Spain, France, and Great Britain held territories in what would become the United States. Spain controlled Florida and parts of the Southwest, while France owned the Louisiana Territory. Great Britain controlled the East Coast, Canada, and parts of the Midwest.
None. Spain still has territory on the African continent, as far as I know that is all that remains historically. None.

The Falkland Islands are a British territory. However, Argentina believes that they are the rightful owners of these islands. A small war even broke out between the two countries but the territory is still disputed to this day.
The country that lies under a continental glacier is Finland. Finland is still emerging from the sea. The weight of the glaciers depressed the land and it's slowly in the process of rising up.
