A territory is an administrative division, usually an area that is under the jurisdiction of a state. In most countries, a territory is an organized division of an area that is controlled by a country but is not formally developed into, or incorporated into, a political unit of the country that is of equal status to other political units that may often be referred to by words such as provinces or states.
The Territories of the United States are administrative divisions of the US federal government. The territories are either incorporated into the U.S. or have an organized government through an Organic Act passed by the Congress. The U.S. has a total of 16 territories, five of which are permanently inhabited.
