A territory distant from the state that has control over it is often referred to as a colony or an overseas territory. These regions are governed by a distant power, which may exert political, economic, and military influence over them despite their geographical separation. Examples include Puerto Rico, which is a territory of the United States, and the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory. Such territories may have varying degrees of autonomy but are ultimately subject to the laws and authority of the controlling state.
