This market resolves yes if any part of Canadian territory becomes American territory before 12/31/2026
Update 2025-03-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Claim vs. Action:
A sovereignty claim is an assertion of rights.
Annexation is the actual process of taking control and incorporating the territory into the state's jurisdiction.
What Would Annexation Look Like?
Declaration: The U.S. government would issue a formal declaration stating the annexation of Machias Seal Island.
Annexation Requires Action: Simply claiming does not equate to annexing. Annexation requires actual control and incorporation, not just a claim.
Update 2025-03-01 (PST): - Annexation Requires Action: For example, the United States sending personnel to forcibly take control of the territory would resolve this market to YES. (AI summary of creator comment)
