The most important colonies were Mexico, Peru and La Plata (Argentina and part of Bolivia), and they were called viceroyalties.
It's not very accurate, and oversimplified but here is some more explanation for this map https://www.statista.com/chart/amp/3441/countries-never-invaded-by-britain/
According to the book "All the Countries We’ve Ever Invaded: And the Few We Never Got Round To," there are only **22 countries** that Britain never invaded throughout history. These countries managed to avoid British invasions: 1. Andorra 2. Belarus 3. Bolivia 4. Burundi 5. Central African Republic 6. Chad 7. Congo 8. Guatemala 9. Ivory Coast 10. Kyrgyzstan 11. Liechtenstein 12. Luxembourg 13. Mali 14. Marshall Islands 15. Monaco 16. Mongolia 17. Paraguay 18. Sao Tome and Principe 19. Sweden 20. Tajikistan 21. Uzbekistan 22. Vatican City ¹² It's fascinating to see how Britain's warfaring efforts touched nearly every corner of the globe, but these few countries remained untouched by British invasions.
