Countries that Border Sweden.

  1. Don’t we border them UK too given that logic? There is only ocean between us and them, no other territorial water.

  2. You forgot to colour Greenland and the Faroe Islands, since you coloured other entities away from the mainland such as Svalbard and Åland.

  3. This is the exclusive economic zones, which is not the same as a country’s territorial waters. In the Economic Zone, a country has the exclusive right to the resources (fish, minerals, oil, gas etc.) but does not hold judicial and military sovereignty over the waters. The territorial waters only extend 12 nautical miles (22 km; 14 mi) from the coast (baseline). By that definition, Denmark would be the only country Sweden shares only maritime borders with.
