Land reclamation inside an exclusive economic area does not count. If multiple regions intersect the new land claim, resolves YES on all of them.

Would this have counted?

@spiderduckpig It's water, and the description explicitly mentions a "land claim", so I'm thinking no
The U.S. actually has several territorial disputes with several countries. Most of them are over water but there are two (Machias Seal Island and North Rock) that are disputed between the U.S. and Canada. I'm surprised U.S. media doesn't cover these disputes as much as they should though.
