Enclave

In human geography, an enclave is a piece of land which is totally surrounded by a foreign territory. If another country has sovereignty over it, it is also called an exclave of that other country.

Land ceded to a Foreign Country

Some areas of land in a country are owned by another country and in some cases it has special privilages, such as being exempt from taxes. These lands are not Enclaves and do not have Extraterritoriality.
