Lists of other entities

The following entities have been legally included as a full part of their governing country, but are often described as dependencies. All have their own country codes.

Australia

Although all territories of Australia are considered to be fully integrated in its federative system, and the official status of an external territory does not differ largely from that of a mainland territory (except in regards to immigration law), debate remains as to whether the external territories are integral parts of Australia, due to their not being part of Australia in 1901, when its constituent states federated.^[6] They are often listed separately for statistical purposes.
