Northern Territory

Northern Territory
That is small four islands at the end of festoon of Kuril islands. Japan is claiming these tiny islands belong to Japan, aside from its historical background, Russia now rules the region.
It is alright to claim, but the colour of these four islands in Japan's atlas is red, which means Japan territory. As I mentioned the effective ruler is Russian over these islands. But because people have been taught that the islands belong to Japan, fishermen enter the area without noticing they are violating Russian law.
Education ought to be based on reality, oughtn't to be based on wishful thinking.
