Scott says (in reference to this):
What about Gibraltar?
I am not sure what your criteria is, but I think this one should be considered.
Strategically important, Gibraltar was ceded to Great Britain by Spain in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht; the British garrison was formally declared a colony in 1830. In a 1967 referendum, Gibraltarians ignored Spanish pressure and voted overwhelmingly to remain a British dependency.
I actually considered Gibraltar. And the Faeroe Islands. But in the end I decided to only include countries that are not only self-governing, but also independent. My ball and all that.
