Greek territorial waters in the Aegean extend to 6 nautical miles. Turkey has threatened war should they be extended to 12, as UNCLOS allows.

I'm glad they're losing votes but worry that economic troubles might bring them back on top. It'll be many years before a union becomes realistic and a lot can happen in that time.

Are you Romanian by any chance?
Hmm no, just curious of foreign politics. :p
Bonus if there's constitutional issues.

The Morgan Line cut through the Free Territory of Trieste slightly south of the Interzonal Boundary; it's the indeterminate line, resulting from combining a dotted line with a dotted area. The postwar boundary is really the post-1947 one. In 1945-47 the whole Julian March was under Anglo-American (Zone A) and Yugoslav (Zone B) military administration. The western border of the region was not the same as the new Italo-Yugoslav border, as the map would suggest; Gorizia and possibly Monfalcone (I've never been able to determine with any certainty) were also included in Zone A. The Paris Peace Treaties (1947) dissolved the Julian March, granted most of it to Yugoslavia and some to Italy and created the Free Territory of Trieste, with the relevant section of the Morgan Line again dividing Anglo-American from Yugoslav military administration. The London Memorandum (1954) replaced these with Italian and Yugoslav civil administration, respectively, and transferred a few villages to the latter, hence the 2 boundaries. The Treaty of Osimo (1975) made the partition official and gave each country sovereignty over its zone.

I realize the map is small and difficult to read, so let me help you. I believe you can recognize lines 2, 3, 4, F and the northern section of line 1 by their description alone. The southern section of line 1 (and possibly the western border of the Julian March - see the previous post) is the dotted one that goes south of Udine. J and S are the ones that go deep into Italian territory. I is the one that grants Italy most of the Julian March. A and B follow the new border in the north and then partition Istria, with A being the line more favorable to Italy. Note of line F: I'm not sure if the original French proposal was meant to create a Free Territory of Trieste or grant all its land to Italy.

The map contains 2 errors:

1) The Treaty of Rapallo did not grant Fiume to Italy but joined it with neighboring Susak into a free state, which was dissolved 4 years later when Italy took the former city and Yugoslavia the latter.

2) Opatje selo/Opacchiasella, an exclave of Zone B within Zone A that can be seen on the previous map, is not shown.

I thought that Poles were the majority in the corridor? Or maybe they don't count Kashubians as Poles?

West Prussia as a whole had around 1,1 million Germans and 500 000(100 000 of them being Kashubians) Poles, the corridor itself had a Polish majority on the countryside and a German majority in the cities.

Apparently the territories given to Poland had roughly 40% Germans. (not including Posen/Silesia, of course)

This here. The number increases when you add German-speaking(or identifying) Poles, or Protestant Poles. (Both of those groups tended to fare better in Prussia-Germany than in Poland of any stripe).
