   Just to elaborate a bit... it should be noted that this categorization   
   may apply only to territories where FRA has potential jurisdiction,   
   namely the USA and its territories. The rest of the world really does   
   not care much about that definition since they neither know nor care   
   what FRA is or says. Well Canada and Mexico might care a little, but   
   certainly no one in Eurasia or Australia cares.
