Is your nation maritime, island, landlocked or enclave?

Postby Lohan » Tue Jan 22, 2013 7:48 am

Is your nation

1) Maritime - has a coastline and land borders with other nation(s)

2) An island - completely surrounded by sea

3) Landlocked - no coastline, 100% land borders with other nations

4) An enclave - completely surrounded by a single nation

Under the definition you proposed, we're a maritime nation, having several coasts and lands, as well as borders and territorial waters. While technically absolutely correct, wouldn't any nation bordering the sea be maritime? Including island nations? Likewise, the term does usually imply that such nations are actually dependent on the seas for their national activities, like commerce, war, communication, etc.

We acknowledge that 'island' is a special case of 'maritime', as indeed 'enclave' is a special case of 'landlocked'.

We are a maritime nation, but we have acquired several Associated Free States, most being maritime, but some are islands. We also have a few enclaves and exclaves with other nations, most notably a complicated system in Nikojlacka with Mijlinka.

The Sanian Confederacy itself is a maritime nation, while our Northern Ponylands territory of Emeralda is also of maritime orign, though the Shield Isles are as their names might suggest, a set of islands. Thus we'd be considered an Other in terms of national classification.

We are technically a maritime nation, but we don't do much with it; our coastline is very small and there's only one port on it.
