Άγιο Όρος - Αυτόνομη Μοναστική Πολιτεία Αγίου Όρους [1]
Το Άγιο Όρος είναι μια, μοναδική στο κόσμο, "Αυτόνομη Μοναστική Πολιτεία" εντός της Ελλάδας, στην χερσόνησο του Άθω της Χαλκιδικής στην Μακεδονία, που θεωρείται κέντρο του Ορθόδοξου μοναχισμού. Θεωρείται από τα σημαντικότερα τμήματα όχι μόνο της Βαλκανικής, αλλά της Ευρώπης και της Ανατολικής Εκκλησίας λόγω της μεγάλης εθνικής, ιστορικής, θρησκευτικής, γραμματειακής και καλλιτεχνικής αξίας αυτού ως ακόμη και κέντρου διατήρησης και συντήρησης πλούσιου υλικού. Aληθώς καταφύγιο και μουσείο μοναδικού θησαυρού ελληνικής τέχνης και γραμμάτων.

Mount Athos - Autonomous Monastic State of the Holy Mountain
Mount Athos (Greek: Όρος Άθως) is a mountain and a peninsula in Macedonia, northern ► Greece, called in Greek Άγιον Όρος (Ayion Oros or Agion Oros, transliterated often as Hagion Oros), or in English, "Holy Mountain." In Classical times, the peninsula was called Ακτή (Acte or Akte). Politically it is known in Greece as the Autonomous Monastic State of the Holy Mountain. This World Heritage Site is home to 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries and forms a semi-autonomous monastic republic within the sovereignty of the Republic of Greece. Spiritually, Mount Athos comes under the direct jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.

- Every entry has an introduction section in English. If other languages are native and/or official in an entity, introductions in other languages are added in separate sections. The text of the introduction(s) is based on the content of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. For sources of the introduction see therefore the Wikipedia entries linked to.

- The status of various entities is disputed. See the content for the entities concerned.
- The maps of former countries that are more or less continued by a present-day country or had a territory included in only one or two countries are included in the atlas of the present-day country. For example the Ottoman Empire can be found in the Atlas of Turkey.
