Can a province be considered neighbor if divided by a sea ? If yes, what's the distance limit to create a claim on it ?

Best Answer

It is considered neighboring, if you share a sea zone.

E.g. southern england and northern france is divided by the channel, each province there is considered neighboring for purposes of creating claims. But once you have to traverse more than one sea zone it is no longer considered neighboring.
