| Gibraltar (a British Overseas Territory) - Gibraltar is a small island off the coast of North Africa, just below Iberia, which was historically part of Spain, but was ceded to the British in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht. It is currently a self-governing British Overseas Territory, and the majority of it's 30,000 residents apparently wish to remain this way, but Spain continues to aggressively seek full sovereignty, or even shared sovereignty. Britain has said that it is committed to making sure it remains British. |
