The question as posed is nonsensical. The modern definition of a country means that it has self-determination. If it is self-determined, then it is not controlled by outside powers, thus negating the possibility of it being controlled by another country.

If the question is asking, "Where is colonization still present?" or "What countries control territories dominated by a different ethnic group than those in the central territories?" or "What countries still maintain possessions at a far distance from their core regions?" the answer is relatively easy: At this point in time, the United States, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand control a number of such regions across the world. The United States controls inter alia, Hawaii, the North Marianas Islands, Guam, and Midway Island. The United Kingdom controls inter alia, the Falkland Islands, Pitcairn Island, St. Helena, Gibraltar, and and the British Indian ocean Territory. France controls inter alia, French Guiana, Réunion, Wallis and Futuna, and French Polynesia. Spain controls inter alia, Ceuta & Melilla and the Canary Islands. Portugal controls Madeira. Morocco controls Western Sahara. Japan controls inter alia, the Ryukyu and Sengaku Island Chains. Australia controls inter alia, Christmas Island. New Zealand controls inter alia, the Cook Islands and Niue.

If the question is asking, "What locations are trying to assert independence but are forcibly being repressed by another power?" the list changes and becomes more nebulous. Of the locations listed above, the only one with a large contingent of residents unhappy with the foreign occupation is Western Sahara. Other repressed regions include inter alia Palestine (by Israel), Aceh (by Indonesia), Chechnya (by Russia), Abkhazia (by Georgia), and Somaliland (by Somalia).
