Note
This plural belongs to territory as a countable noun: overseas colonies, sales patches, the ground rival animals defend against their own kind. When territory means ground in general, as in gaining territory, it has no plural. Canada's Northwest Territories carries the plural inside a proper name, although it is a single entity, one of the country's three territories alongside Yukon and Nunavut.
