Colombia.  Honduras, in addition to Colombia, might also have claimed Seranilla.<br/>

Palmyra, by the way, is an &quot;incorporated&quot; Territory of the USA (the only one<br/>
left).  By Act of Congress of April 30, 1900, the Constitution and laws of the<br/>
USA were made as applicable in Palmyra as in the several states and the District<br/>
of Columbia.  This means that it can never be constitutionally alienated.<br/>

All other US dependencies are mere &quot;unincorporated&quot; possessions and could be<br/>
alienated.<br/>
