Every territory belongs to a country
So Gibraltar is a country different from the UK, or is the same?
I think is the same:

As an overseas territory of the UK, the head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, who is represented by the Governor of Gibraltar. The UK retains responsibility for defence, foreign relations, internal security and financial stability. The Governor is not involved in the day-to-day administration of Gibraltar, and his role is largely as a ceremonial head of state. The Governor officially appoints the Chief Minister and government ministers after an election. He is responsible for matters of defence, security and the Royal Gibraltar Police.
The Government of Gibraltar is elected for a term of four years. The unicameral House of Assembly consists of fifteen elected members, eight Government members, seven opposition members and two ex-officio members appointed by the Governor, the Financial Development Secretary and the Attorney-General. The speaker is nominated by the Government.
The head of Government is the Chief Minister, currently Peter Caruana. There are three political parties currently represented in the House of Assembly: Gibraltar Social Democrats; Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party; and Gibraltar Liberal Party. New Gibraltar Democracy has has been formed since the 2003 election.
The Reform Party and Gibraltar Labour Party having failed to achieve any popular support, ceased operating in 2005.
Gibraltar is a part of the European Union, having joined under the British Treaty of Accession (1973), with exemption from some areas such as the Customs Union and Common Agricultural Policy. After a ten year campaign to exercise the right to vote in European Elections, from 2004, the people of Gibraltar have participated in elections for the European Parliament as part of the South West England region.
As a result of the continued Spanish claim, the issue of sovereignty features strongly in Gibraltar politics. All local political parties are opposed to any transfer of sovereignty to Spain, instead supporting self-determination for the Rock. This policy is supported by the main UK opposition parties. In view of the UK Government's repeated commitment to respect the wishes of the people of Gibraltar, as laid out in the Constitution, the proposal for joint sovereignty is now considered dead.
In March 2006 Jack Straw announced that a new Gibraltar constitution had been agreed and would be published prior to a referendum on its acceptance in Gibraltar that year.

"At no time since the Norman Conquest in 1066 has the evolution of the islands' constitutions involved amalgamation with, or subjection to, the government of the United Kingdom. The islands' link with the UK is through the English Sovereign, as latter day successor of the Dukes of Normandy." http://www.tax.gov.gg/aboutGuernsey.html
