Britain's overseas territories are not "partly controlled". They are self-governing.
- Bayart 5y agoTheir foreign policy, their defense and their diplomatic representation is decided by London. They're not sovereign.

AFAIK they don't contribute to the UK finances directly, but do take advantage of things like UK defence spending and are effectively protected from international regulations by being part of the UK for those purposes.
