    So -- as you say, Gibraltar is a territory of the UK, i.e. it is part of the UK.

    Do you also consider Puerto Rico to be part of the USA?

    Definitely. The people of Puerto Rico are American citizens, albeit
    without representation in the Congress.

    That may be Kentucky. They used to have a big gun day down near
    Fort Knox where you could bring anything and shoot it on an outdoor
    range.

    So I could bring my mother-in-law and shoot her?

    I do believe that there are restrictions on what you can shoot at. :)

    "anything" sounds pretty unrestricted by me ... 8-)

    Is St.Pierre et Miquelon part of France? And therefor of Europe?

    It's not a département and therefore not part of the EU. And it's part of North
    Amrica, not Europe.
    French Guiana is part of the EU, though.

    Hmmm ... the official currency is the Euro and in July non-stop flights to Paris CDG are started.

    I think I can even go there without a passport as it seems Schengen rules apply.

    French Guiana is part of the EU, though.

    How about Mururoa ? Martinique?

    So what?
    Montenegro and Kosovo both replaced the Dinar with Deutsche Mark and later on also changed to Euro without being in the European Currency Union.

    I think I can even go there without a passport as it seems Schengen
    rules apply.

    They don't. I don't know if you need a passport, though. AFAIR I've never had one, my German ID card was suffiecent for Turkey and even the CSSR.

    French Guiana is part of the EU, though.
    How about Mururoa ? Martinique?

    For details, read this in your favourite language: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:12012E/TXT

    Or if you're good at geography, grab a Euro bank note and look at the shape of the islands. However, you might want to use a 500 Euro note, they're too small on the other ones. :-)

    I am starting to wonder if you are planning a Carribean vacation and are
    hoping that GS will do all of the research for you. :)

    I don't think they get to vote for president, either, unless they have
    an official residence in a state and can vote absentee there

    Mururoa might only have a fallout shelter.

    Hello Everybody,

    Gibraltar. Spain wants it back. Think the UK will allow it
    to happen? Or will the Spanish send in another armada to make
    it their own again?
