But fine, what would you prefer them to be called?

The Key is what do the people living in those areas think. If Guam really wanted independence we would give it to them. The same goes for Puerto Rico. So they really are not under military occupation with their natural rights being violated. The Greek part of Cypress is not occupied. The Greek Cypriots like to claim that the Turkish part of Cypress is occupied by the government of Turkey, but it would be my guess that the occupent of Northern Cypress want the Turkish army there.
Western Sahara is occupied by Morocco, just like Tibet is occupied by China. The West Bank and Gaza are occupied by Israel and the people clearly don't want them there and their natural rights are be violated, just like the natural rights of the Wester Saharans and the Tibetans are being violated.
