Foreign establishments are not legally part of a country's territory under its laws, but are under the physical control of the country. Foreign military bases, and embassies are common examples. Another relevant example is the Panama Canal (currently under the state of Panama). Under U.S. control, the canal was still a part of the country of Panama, and the laws of the United States did not apply there. The New Territories of Hong Kong under the United Kingdom before 1997 is also an example.
