The term is called "extraterritorial jurisdiction"
A double criminal absurdity. The mafia known as government has no real 'jurisdiction' in the territory they usurp, let alone in territories 'belonging' to other mafias.
On this, at least, we can agree completely. The only thing I would add is that this is largely a recent phenomenon due to the ability for large enough governments to have truly global reach. Power will exert itself as far as it can.
