Glossary

ocean territory
A territory is an ocean territory if its region property (in the Map File) is ocean. Conversely, a non-ocean territory is one whose region property is anything other than ocean.

coast
A coast is the portion of a non-ocean territory that is either adjacent to an ocean territory or is a canal. Coasts are defined for each territory in the Map File.

coastal territory A territory is coastal if it contains at least one coast.

adjacent
Two territories are adjacent if they share at least two consecutive border points

Example:

   0   1   2
 0 +---+---+     A = [(0,0), (1,0), (1,1), (0,1)]
   | A | B |
 1 +---+---+     B = [(1,0), (2,0), (2,1), (1,1)]
       | C |
 2     +---+     C = [(1,1), (2,1), (2,2), (1,1)]

A and B are adjacent, because their borders share points (1,0) and (1,1).
A and C, on the other hand, are not adjacent because their borders share only one point ((1,1)).

Two coasts are adjacent if they share an endpoint

Example:

   0   1   2   3
 0 +=======+===+     A      = [(0,0), (1,0), (2,0)]
   |   A   | B |     B(Top) = [(2,0), (3,0)]
 1 +-------+===+     B(Bot) = [(2,1), (3,1)]

A and B(Top) are adjacent coasts because they share point (2,0).
A and B(Bot) are not adjacent because they do not share a point (even though A and B are adjacent territories).

A territory is adjacent to a coast if the coast path shares at least two points with the territory border.
