	01:29, 15 December 2022	900 × 502 (194 KB)	Robsalerno	Reverted to version as of 20:39, 13 December 2022 (UTC) There are no civil unions in the map or in the legend. Blue only signifies marriage.
	05:24, 14 December 2022	900 × 502 (194 KB)	Kwamikagami	rv: confused colors e.g. for CU's vs marriage
	20:39, 13 December 2022	900 × 502 (194 KB)	Robsalerno	Reverted to version as of 17:24, 13 December 2022 (UTC) - there are not "two colors for marriage". The marriage color is used to outline the EEZ, while the lighter color is used to shade the water, because it's not land. American Samoa is colored purple because it doesn't perform marriages only recognizes them.
	20:11, 13 December 2022	900 × 502 (194 KB)	Panda2018 0	why are there 2 colors for marriage now ?
	17:24, 13 December 2022	900 × 502 (194 KB)	Robsalerno	Reverted to version as of 05:11, 13 December 2022 (UTC) - what do you mean mismatched colors? This version is more correct because it splits Guam and CNMI, and joins the three parts of Kiribati. Filling in the EEZs makes it more legible, because the border lines of EEZs aren't always clear and continuous.
