Should "countries" that are not sovereign states be listed? This involves Hong Kong, and possibly Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Bermuda, Gibraltar, etc., too for other lists by countries.

Hi Baksando, "
Country" is not a synonym of "
sovereign state", they are different terms. On this page, yes, as for the
speed limits by country page, its basically the same. Their ships often fly under their own flag and are registered in that country. Hong Kong, for example maintains a separate shipping system despite the fact that it is not sovereign (see
Ship registration in Hong Kong). We generally don't organize globally comprehensive lists around national or sovereign status, because it excludes some jurisdictions that don't have those statuses and therefore cannot be globally comprehensive.

Should they be listed beneath their sovereign powers in the same manner as states, provinces, etc.? Or should they not be listed at all?
