The more immediate geographic reality in this case is that Nova Scotia is east of Maine, not north of it. The marine borders drawn up look pretty reasonable on a map. For the most part points belong to the closest country.

Of Americans who are aware that Nova Scotia exists, an alarming number think that to get to NS you start around Portland or Bangor then drive more or less due north (while New Brunswick is somewhere in New Jersey). They also usually think NS is much colder than anywhere in New England.
Makes sense? The anecdote is about effective advocacy!
