Why is Martinique allowed their own team? Association vs. Federation

Martinique is technically still apart of France, yet they were allowed to participate in the Gold Cup. I think the main thing is Cups allow federation teams (every other country) and associations (such as Martinique). My question is what's stopping I don't know Louisiana from being an association and having it's own separate team from say the USMNT?
I know super hypothetical. Still interesting. Thanks.

Pretty much because France let's them.

Under the control of related continental confederations, and with the agreement of the FFF, those leagues can organize international sport events at a regional level or set up teams in order to participate to them.
FFF in the quoted text is the French football federation.

France keeps control for when a good player comes around... then they actually care. The sun never sets on French player holdings
