The country is composed of six states and ten territories. Two territories are on the mainland &#8211; the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory &#8211; while the others are located offshore.\u00a0Outside of government, the ACT and the Northern Territory are often treated like states because of their large populations and the fact that they&#8217;re on the mainland bordering other states.
