00:00Do you know which country has the most large portion of the ocean?
00:03Well, not because you have time to write a lot of nonsense on your trusses at Blanco.
00:07So many of you will answer surely the Russia, the United States or the China,
00:11because of their immense islands.
00:13And yet, it's a country 17 times smaller than the United States.
00:17But how can a state pick up a part of the ocean?
00:20All depends on a concept called the exclusive economic zone.
00:23In fact, every country who has a littoral country can extend to about 370 km wide of its coasts.
00:31In this area, it has exclusive rights for the fishing,
00:34the exploitation of the mining resources and even the construction of gigantic parks,
00:39which is developed at all speed.
00:41But the ZEEE is not only about the resources.
00:44They also represent the power and influence.
00:47They control of large roads and are at the origin of conflicts for decades.
00:52Take the Mer of the Mer of the Méridionale, for example,
00:55where some countries build artificial islands to grow their claims.
00:59Thanks to these outside-mer territories disseminated across the world,
01:03there is a country that surpassed discreetly the biggest actors.
01:06And this country, it's France.
