Territories of Vale

The six Autonomous Territories of Vale (Valois: Territoires Autonomes du Val) are the Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Guiana, Madeira, Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon and Svalbard. Together with Continental Vale, they form the whole of the Republic of Vale. While each has its own internal leadership, most being self-governing, they share the President of Vale as head of state.

Current Autonomous Territories
The six Autonomous Territories of Vale are:

Relations with Metropolitan Vale
The Presidential Office has the responsibility of looking after the interests of all overseas territories. The President of Vale is the head of state of all territories, and has his full powers as described in the territorial constitutions and the Constitution of Vale, within the autonomous territories as well. As such, defense and foreign relations are the only two areas that the territories don't hold full autonomy on, and actually don't hold any authority in these matters. It is however, common practice that matters involving territories are to be discussed between the premierships of the territories in question and the President of Vale before any decision should be taken, although there is no obligation from the Presidential Office to do so.

Each autonomous territory has been granted its own flag and coat of arms by the President of Vale. All flags follow the Nordic cross design, and the proportions of the Valois flag.

Foreign relations
The Faroe Islands and Svalbard are the only autonomous territories that are part of the Nordic Council (NC). Both territories are members of the Nordic Council in their own right. None of the Autonomous Territories are members of the USKO, the main body of USKO law does not apply and, although certain slices of USKO law (e.g. International Law) are applied to those territories as part of the Republic of Vale, as a whole.

Several nations dispute Vale's sovereignty in the following autonomous territories:
 * Gibraltar – claimed by Iberia
 * Guiana – claimed by South Aegea
 * Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon – claimed by Newfoundland

Military
Defence of the Autonomous Territories is the responsibility of Vale. All of the autonomous territories are used as military bases by Vale and its allies.


 * Faroe Islands – the Valois Forces Faroe Islands includes commitments from the Vale Army, Vale Air Force and Vale Navy.
 * Gibraltar – Valois Forces Gibraltar includes a Vale Navy dockyard, BAV Gibraltar – used by the Vale Air Force and Iberian Air Force and a local garrison – the Gibraltar Territorial Regiment.
 * Guiana - Several military bases maintained as strategic Valois military bases in the Aegeas, including the Guiana Cosmodrome.
 * Madeira - Porto Santo has a Vale Navy dockyard and a Vale Air Force base, BAV Porto Santo.
 * Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon – the Base known as BAV Miquelon is used by both the Vale Air Force and the German Luftwaffe.
 * Svalbard – the Base known as BAV Svalbard is used by both the Vale Air Force and the Russian Air Force.

Citizenship
None of the autonomous territories has its own nationality status, and all citizens are classed as Valois Autonomous Territories citizens (CTAV). They do however, have legislative independence over immigration, and holding the status of a CTAV does not automatically give a person a right of abode in any of the territories, as it depends on the territory's immigration laws. A territory may issue Belonger status to allow a person classed as a CTAV to reside in the territory that they have close links with. Non-CTAV citizens may acquire Belonger status to reside in a particular territory (and may subsequently become naturalised CTAV if they wish).

Valois citizens however, do not have an automatic right to reside in any of the Autonomous Territories. Some territories prohibit immigration (Madeira and Gibraltar), and any visitors are required to seek the permission of the territory's government to live in the territory.
