Guam is a U.S territory, so you are allowed to operate flights in U.S and from U.S to France for example. Airlines in the U.S can fly from Guam to a foriegn country too.

Actually there was, today, a band of leading Guam citizens who banded together to write a document stating their wish for independence from the US and the establishment of the Republic of Guam.

This makes complete sense... If some group wants independence it's very far from political reality.

 

But would, again, ask why US overseas territories have no political restrictions, but some of French and British territories which are put as different countries (Bermuda, Turks&Caicos, New Caledonia, French Polynesia etc.) have restrictions like foreign countries, while others (like Gibraltar and Réunion) don't. I suppose the similar question could be posed about other few countries' autonomous territories, like Greenland within Denmark or HK in PRC etc.

 

Is this actually in all cases a realistic set of restrictions and US territories are only ones that are different, or someone just forgot to program this (of course a bit of americentrism is everywhere in this game so US was the most important and the only one to to gain proper attention -.- so far).

In the original airport database AE derived from, territories are classified under their own "countries". AE "fix" this on squeaky wheel gets the grease basis.
