Overseas territories are regions that are under the jurisdiction of a country but are located outside its mainland. These territories often have a degree of self-governance, but the parent country retains control over key areas such as defense and foreign affairs. Examples include Bermuda and the Falkland Islands, which are British Overseas Territories. Many overseas territories have unique cultural identities and economies that may rely on tourism, fishing, or agriculture. They can also face challenges such as limited resources and geographic isolation. The relationship between these territories and their governing countries can vary significantly, influencing local governance and development.
