Yes, but non-coastal borders become nice curves at a certain resolution just because they're legally defined by points.
Coastal borders are legally vague AFAIK, since they're defined as a nautical mile from "the shore" or something like that, but when you're already on the ocean a matter of a few meters tends not to matter.
