  <genc:entryNotesOnTerritory><![CDATA[South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands is a British Overseas Territory. British Overseas Territories are distinct areas that are not part of the territory of the United Kingdom. There are 14 such territories, including: Anguilla; Bermuda; British Antarctic Territory; British Indian Ocean Territory; British Virgin Islands; Cayman Islands; Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas); Gibraltar; Montserrat; Pitcairn Islands; Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha; South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands; Sovereign Base Areas on Cyprus (Akrotiri and Dhekelia); and the Turks and Caicos Islands. (See [http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/about-us/what-we-do/overseas-territories].) ISO 3166-1 contains entries for twelve of the fourteen British Overseas Territories. The two British Overseas Territories omitted from ISO 3166-1 are the British Antarctic Territory (ISO includes no national Antarctic claims) and the Sovereign Base Area on Cyprus (Akrotiri and Dhekelia, as a single British Overseas Territory). Note that ISO 3166-2 does not contain code elements for any of those territories as an administrative subdivision of the United Kingdom. GENC also contains specific top-level entries for the same twelve British Overseas Territories found in ISO 3166-1, and in addition, GENC contains separate entries for each of Akrotiri, Dhekelia, and Diego Garcia.]]></genc:entryNotesOnTerritory>
