 </span></blockquote>A &#39;sovereign territory&#39; can presumably only be sovereign in the legal <br/>
sense, if it&#39;s recognised by other sovereign territories. Sealand and Hutt <br/>
River Province also claim to be sovereign territories, but unfortunately <br/>
(for them) they&#39;re recognised by no-one else. The likes of Northern Cyprus <br/>
and Palestine lie somewhere in between as they&#39;re recognised by some <br/>
countries, but not others.<br/>
