All the territories within the confines of the American, the European, the Asiatic and the African continents, assigned to ten Baha'i National Assemblies, have, with the exception of Soviet-controlled territories, been opened. Of the seventy-two islands allocated to eleven Baha'i National Assemblies no less than sixty-four have opened their doors to the vanguard of Baha'i Crusaders, leaving Spitzbergen and Anticosti Island, situated respectively in the North Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, Nicobar Islands, Cocos Island and Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, and Loyalty Islands, Sakhalin Island and Hainan Island in the Pacific Ocean - one of which is a native reserve, two of which are within the Soviet Orbit, while four others are either privately owned or controlled by private companies - as yet unopened by the heroic band battling for the Faith of Baha'u'llah.
