| It may be noted that the map depicts a large number of exclaves physically detached from the county that they were politically deemed to be part of. |
| Hence, they are exclaves for practical purposes, without meeting the strict definition. |
| Cyprus has four exclaves, all in territory that belongs to the British Sovereign Base Area of Dhekelia. |
| The Netherlands has several Belgian exclaves and within those even several enclaves which are still part of the province of North Brabant. |
| Like exclaves, practical exclaves are not contiguous with the land of the home country and have land access only through another country or countries. |
| The remaining exclaves of counties were transferred in the 1890s and in 1931, with one exception. |
