Greenland, an autonomous country in Denmark, also has its own ccTLD.
On the same subject, here's another politically loaded map, and a rather recurrent one in this thread:
Former (blue) and current (red) countries on the UN's list of Non-Self-Governing Territories (i.e. colonies).
French Guiana was removed after a year after France said "nah, they're totally an integral part of our country". Algeria, for the same reason, was never listed.
Gibraltar is listed as a NSGT but Ceuta and Melilla, across the sea, are not; Spain convinced Morocco to not submit it to the initial list and they've been rueing it ever since.
The Falklands had a referendum last year in which only three people out of 1,500 votes (and an electorate of 1,650) voted for a change of status. Due to the usual protestations of Argentina, they remain on the list.
The Pitcairn Islands, with a population of 50 (mostly comprised of rapists), is listed, and feasibly cannot become self-governing (although the rapists tried their hardest to convince them of the opposite).
French Polynesia is on the list due to their pro-independence former president Oscar Temaru asking for them to be inscribed. Two weeks before the inscription, Temaru lost an election to the autonomist Popular Rally, who immediately asked not to be added, to no avail.
New Zealand industriously holds referenda on independence in Tokelau every few years; the Tokelau Islanders have thus far refused to cooperate.
