Abstract
This political map of the world depicts the extent of territories, both on land and at sea (submerged lands), that are under the control of all independent nations. The boundaries shown combine national borders with their respective Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) but exclude the world’s coastlines. EEZs are areas defined by international law as maritime territories lying within 200 nautical miles perpendicular to the coast and delimited by international treaties. The marine borders used in this map are based on a geometric projection of the maritime boundaries depicted by the Flanders Marine Institute (http://www.marineregions.org/eez.php). This map is not to be taken as the endorsement of one claim over another.
