Territories of the United States are one type of political division of the United States, administered by the US government but not any part of a US state. Territories can be classified by whether they are incorporated (part of the United States proper) and whether they have an organized government (through an Organic Act or constitution passed by the US Congress). The matter is complex - for an introduction to this see the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Territories
