Cool!Yes there are Prince Hall Military Lodges in the Middle East.
Good info. I did not know this.Generally speaking when there is not a grand lodge in an area it is a free for all. Ergo any grand lodge can set up lodges in a country with no grand lodge.
So heres a question...what about sovereign land within a country? Ie embassy or military reservation..or...Indian Reservations? Or could lodges of say GLofNM that are on rez land split and start the GLoNavajo nation and still be regular and recognizable?Generally speaking when there is not a grand lodge in an area it is a free for all. Ergo any grand lodge can set up lodges in a country with no grand lodge.
You're kinda and sorta right. ETJ doctrine doesn't really mean that a territory has to be unoccupied by a Grand Lodge. There can be a multiple of GLs in the same territory and they can hold concurrent jurisdictions over their own membership if all parties are in agreement.Generally speaking when there is not a grand lodge in an area it is a free for all.

I recommend that you follow up with some research of your own before accepting this on good faith alone.Cool!

Just as a clarification, a country need not have a its own grand lodge to be off limits to another jurisdiction. NY and Scotland had district GLs covering in Lebanon. DC decided to start a lodge there. NY suspemded recognition of D.C. (There was also an issue with the former NY Masons they took in)Generally speaking when there is not a grand lodge in an area it is a free for all.
