Turkmenistan Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

Just as the Black Sea is the counter to the Caspian Sea, nearly at right angles, there is also a twin for the Sea of Azov.  The geographic twin is the Mighty Black Sea, official known as the sea of Garabogazköl Aylagy.  Unlike the Sea of Azov, which is international, the Sea of Azov's twin is totally under the control of one nation: Turkmenistan.

Note there are two Turkey's of the Old World.  The one in the West is the more famous on the edge of the West Asia.  The other is on the East side of Europe.  Both are Turkish peoples.  The eastern Turks of Turkmenistan have maintained their 'Chinese' phenotype while the Western Turks have mingled to some degree with West and only have an echo of the 'Chinese' phenotype. 

You can also think of the Black Sea's of Garabogazköl is the Sea of Azov.  Funny thing, one translation for this Caspian's Sea of Azov (Sea of Garabogazköl ) is coincidentally the BLACK SEA.  But just to keep is straight its best to think of this sea as the Mighty Black Sea.  Yet the Mighty Black Sea is much smaller than the Black Sea that is connected to the Sea of Middle Earth. 

Turkmenistan Continguous Zone Flag

Although located in the heart of the Old World, Turkmenistan does have an international coastline.  Consequently is also has a Contiguous Zone flag.  This flags denotes that this area of the Earth is under economic and coastal authority of Turkmenistan.

This flag conserves the design of the Turkmeni flag but with Contiguous colours.

Likewise as the Caspian Sea is the twin to the Black Sea, the Caspian's Sea of Azov totally belongs to Turkmenistan.  Yet to have an official English language, it is called Garabogazkol, which can be though of the as the the Mighty Black Sea.

Tunisia Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

When taken in a direct 'wordish' translation, the Sea of Middle Earth, is the Mediterranean Sea.  Likewise many maps see this Sea of Middle Earth as a European Sea, by usually cutting off Africa and Asia.  Rather is a Sea of Unity between Asia, Africa and Europe.  Yes! Asia is a part of Mediterranean Sea culture!

Nonetheless Tunisia has certain amount of area reserved for her economic exploitation.  Such that, no other nation may fish, harness, or collect the natural resources of the area, unless permitted so by Tunisia.  Yet this part of the world is not a part of Tunisia, thus it is a weird kind of twilight area.

Tunisia Contiguous Zone Flag

Tunisia is famous for having the most northern point of continental Africa.  Likewise Tunisia also has a Contiguous Zone.  This is where her maritime police and coastguard rule supreme in international waters.

Estonia Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

Although Estonia has a meek EEZ, it is not the meekest, that bragging right goes to Monaco.  Nonetheless Estonia has swath of the seas reserved for her gain only.  This flag indicates that this international area is under the control of Estonia alone, yet all registered, recognized nations may pass.

Azerbaijain EEZ flag

Azerbaijan like all nations with international coastlines has an Exclusive Economic Zone.  It is in this 'free pass' international area that economic rights of the ocean are under sole authority of Azerbaijan.

Estonia Contiguous Zone Flag

Although Estonia does not have oceanfront property,  Estonia does have an international coastline and room for a Contiguous Zone.  Here the colours are conserved and the blue is replaced with orange.
