Maritime and aerial border of Graecia

Currently, the land claims of the People's Republic of Graecia are limited to one relatively small island surrounded by the Keltian continent, and has no land borders. However, the State has defined an area which is the claimed maritime and aerial border of the People's Republic of Graecia. Graecia has not signed a number of treaties that allegedly help to define a nations's territorial waters, so their claims to not come in compliance with them; however, as it is not a signatory to such treaties, and it has never received any complain about this, Graecia is unlikely to change the border (except if it expands, which was something likely until recent events).
Details
The border has an egg-like shape; speaking without details, it can be measured with the help of the coastal cities of Graecia. It can be reached at 598km. from Ersoy, 250km. from Cliffton, and 300km. from Erythropolis. Unite these 3 points, and the border is made. With these taken in mind, and not forgetting the recent expansions made by Graecia's neighbors, Graecia is surrounded by the territorial waters of two nations: The Hexarchy in the northwest, north and northeast, the Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union in the east, southeast, south and southwest. A four-nation point is, as such, created on the western border, between the Hexarchy, Graecia, the Imperial Trade Union and the Green (unclaimed territories). A three-nation point is also located on the eastern side, shared between the same nations; the exception is that there are no unclaimed waters on that location. The People's Republic of Graecia and the Aldurian-Wechuan Federation are separated by about 300-400km. of territorial waters of the Hexarchy and the Imperial Trade Union. The same happens with some controlled areas of Phinbella, which are separated from Graecia by the Imperial Trade Union's coastal area. The border is demarcated by buoys on it's entire length. The buoys are Graecian-made, and fly two flags: The Flag of Graecia on the Graecian side, and the flag of the bordering nation, from their side. When there is heavy rain, a patrol boat removes the textile-made flags; so, to avoid confusion in these cases, the flags are also painted on each side of the buoy. An exception on this is the previously mentioned four nation and three nation points, where a special buoy is located; it only flies the Graecian flag, but it is bigger in side and has an silver plaque which has inscribed the words PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF GRAECIA / Workers of the world, UNITE!.
