Dependent territory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2205 words) |
 | A dependent territory, dependent area or dependency is a territory that does not possess full political independence or sovereignty as a State. |
| There are varying degrees and forms of dependence, commonly distinguished from other subnational entities in that they are not considered to be part of the motherland or mainland of the governing State. |
| The Native American tribal governments are sometimes called "dependencies", but in a broader sense they are really subnational entities; their territories, whether recognized as reservations or not, are an integral part of the United States in every territorial and geographic sense, as well as legally for most purposes. |
