Largest Maritime Territory
Understand largest maritime territory: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.
Maritime area is usually discussed through an exclusive economic zone, which is not the same as sovereign land territory. Islands can generate extensive maritime rights, while overlapping claims and agreed boundaries affect totals. Territorial seas and continental-shelf claims use different legal concepts. A ranking should state exactly which maritime area it sums.
