[Sidenote: American States.]

-- 109. In America there are twenty-one States which are members of the Family of Nations, but it must be emphasised that the member-States of the five Federal States on the American continent, although they are part-Sovereign, have no footing within the Family of Nations, because the American Federal States, in contradistinction to Switzerland and Germany, absorb all possible international relations of their member-States.

The United States of America.

The United States of Mexico.

Costa Rica.

Cuba.

Morocco and Abyssinia are both full-Sovereign States, but for some parts only within the Family of Nations. The Soudan has an exceptional position; being under the _condominium_ of Great Britain and Egypt, a footing of its own within the Family of Nations the Soudan certainly has not.

[Sidenote: Asiatic States.]

-- 111. In Asia only j.a.pan is a full and real member of the Family of Nations. Persia, China, Siam, Tibet, and Afghanistan are for some parts only within that family.
