Overseas Territories

I was wondering if any French, Dutch and English person knew about their countries' overseas territories in the world. In the Caribbean I know of Anguilla, British Virgin Islands an Montserrat for the UK, Netherland Antilles for the Netherlands and Martinique and Guadelupe for France. The question is what is the relationships between the countries (i.e. as a member of the EU can you travel without a visa or you need one because it's a different state)? What are other colonial remains of the beforementioned countries?
 
Puerto Rico - overseas of the USA - no passport needed to/from USA - votes in Presidental elections
US Virgin Islands - ditto
Guam - one never knows
 
Surinam for the Netherlands too. More or less. They're independent now but only a little bit. Or something like that.
In the Netherlands Antilles they actually still pay with "florins" which we haven't used anymore even before we had euro's. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" />
 
We've got Norfolk Island, not sure about Christmas Island

New Zealand also <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Give New Amsterdam back to the Dutch! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" />

I believe Greenland is still part of Denmark though they should be getting independence soon.
The Danes still have the Forae Isles.
