For the US I presume it's Gitmo? Does that even count as a border dispute?

Or random islands in the Pacific.

Well, Cuba is colored in and Gitmo is the only territorial dispute I can think of that the Cubans would have.

According to Wiki Cuba and the US (and Mexico as well) have disputes about the continental shelf in parts of the Gulf of Mexico.

I didn't consider the continental shelf.  Actually, I didn't know Cuba had any shelf beyond their EEZ.

Who knows if the map makers mean that, though. Guantanamo doesn't appear at wiki's list, and Mexico appears conflictless in the map.

I've never heard of any.  That Arctic route thing is not a border dispute you know.

The South-Eastern parts of Germany currently face the biggest drought since half a century. The Elbe in Dresden is at 1/4 of its normal level.

Some of those are really terrible. Let the fern continue to be an All Blacks symbol and go with the Koru/Southern Cross.

There's a whole wiki article about them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_areas_disputed_by_Canada_and_the_United_States

It's mostly about two straits in British Columbia, an island between Maine and New Brunswick and a part of the Arctic, besides the Northwest passage thing. Also, the main border itself is pretty funky in some areas:
