   I looked at those borders using GoogleMaps, and can't see how they would   
   add even one coast to Poland. Perhaps I'm missing something.   
      
   As far as greyish areas, I've since discovered one. It depends on whose   
   claim to a significant amount of the land of a certain country you   
   accept. Going by international recognition, there's only two. But going   
   by de facto situation on the ground, there's three.
