Lovely project!

If I understand correctly, seeing for example on mapshaper.org the GeoJSON of Greece that has a lot of sea in its territory, the current dataset includes only the country's landmass.

This poses a problem when trying to deduce which country a points falls into and it's the location of a boat sailing in the country's waters. Polygon inclusion algorithms would not work given the current dataset for this. Correct?

Would it be possible to have an export that contains the country's sea boundaries? I believe that is called the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) or maritime boundaries.

I'm not active on this project anymore, but I kind of remember that it starts by cutting out the water from the landmass. So if you disable that step, it'll give you the full polygons, like you want. But it's just a guess on my side, I really don't remember it precisely by now.
