Answer: A settlement owned and ruled by a different county is a colony.
Explanation:
An area that is occupied by a country other than the sovereign's home territory is called a colony.
A colony is under political control of a more powerful force.
For example, Marseille was once a Greek colony of Massalia (circa 600 BC).
Some modern examples of colonies include Barbados, a former colony of Great Britain which eventually gained independence in 1966, or Brazil, a colony of Portugal that obtained freedom in 1822.
