In politics and in history, a colony is a territory under the immediate political control of a geographically-distant Nation. Many NationStates nations may have Colonies.

Colony is also a popular name prefix.

Uhuh-Ropa and Uhuh-Topia Ropa-Topia

Ropa-Topia currently belongs to both nations, but used to be an Uhuh-Topian colony on the Isle of Uhm. The Isle of Uhm is still a province of Uhuh-Topia, but Ropa-Topia is also a fully sovereign nation.

Notes:

  • Colonies may be termed in a variety of ways. Ariddia's "colonies" are officially described as a "special province" (Eshyosha, Gnatanamo), a "semi-autonomous overseas territory" (the Ariddian Arctic Islands) or even, in ESAT's case, as a fully sovereign nation.
