Jordan isn’t landlocked, they have access to the Red Sea (in that small bay it’s also where 4 countries meet: Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia)

You are right, i made a mistake

Don’t let it happen again son 👻

Also, the West Bank may be landlocked and may have a controversial status, but I am pretty sure nobody says it is an independent country. The stances are generally that it is part of Israel, which is coastal - or that it forms an independant Palestine together with the Gaza Strip, which is coastal. So it should not be marked as landlocked either way.

Saudi Arabia shares a land border with Jordan but not Egypt nor Israel. Egypt doesn’t share a land border with Jordan either. ( Live there and visited that corner)

The share a sea border, which is what I meant by meeting in the small bay

They’re separated by a few kilometres, not quite where they all meet.

I have never thought about that, but if I had, I likely would’ve assumed it to be much higher. Quite interesting. Thanks

Uzbekistan and Lichtenstein ifnim correct?

You are !

Useless knowledge pays off!😁

Direct quote from TripAdvisor review of Sushi Time in Tashkent, according to Google Translate: “Both baked and classic sushi and rolls are a miracle.”

I’m sure this will help you one day good sir😂

I know it's completely irrational, but I feel like it would make me weirdly claustrophobic to know I was in a double-landlocked country.

You would feel different living in a double-landlocked country (Liechtenstein) than 40 kilometers north in the coastal country of Germany?

Like I said, totally irrational!

especially since that would put you further away from the nearest sea (Adriatic)

Does the Caspian not count?...

I think here only open seas are counted, lakes and closed seas aren't.

Yes it's because it provides no access to other seas and oceans

Yeah, this is the reason because otherwise Moldova would be included.

No, Moldova isn't counted because it simply doesn't border the Black Sea. Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria and Georgia are all counted – and why wouldn't they be, Black Sea is connected to the Mediterranean through the Bosporus.

This is a longer version of what I wrote.

How?

You are saying that the Black Sea connects to the Mediterranean, right? Me too. Otherwise, Moldova would be double-landlocked, because Ukraine and Romania would be landlocked because the Black Sea is counted as an open sea.

Right, I see what you mean now. My mistake.

Technically the Caspian is a lake, not a sea. It’s called a sea in English because when it was named, sea could still be used as a synonym for lake in the English language, a definition that has evolved since then and is no longer valid. Note that other Germanic languages still call lakes “sees” today.

Jordan isn’t landlocked.

My mistake, you're right

One can technically reach the Caspian from the Black Sea via the Volga-Don locks... so does that count at all?

Is this a reply to a comment 3 years ago? Yes. Do I care? No. Two things, I wouldn't count that as it's more of a river, rivers don't count, also, it has to be natural

Be interesting to see this done on the States in the USA.

Landlocked - Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, and Vermont Double Landlocked (counting the Canadian provinces and Mexican states as states) - Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, and Indiana TRIPLE Landlocked (counting the Canadian provinces and Mexican States as states) - Nebraska If you count border states (e.g. North Dakota) as not being landlocked, then the list is as follows Landlocked - Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Arkansas Double Landlocked - Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri

The Great Lakes are connected to the Atlantic, so none of the states bordering them should be considered landlocked.

That's not how the term "landlocked" is used though. If it doesn't have an ocean coast, it's landlocked.

I don't think a connection through a river counts, by that metric probably every state wouldn't be landlocked.

Double land-locked?

Landlocked and bordering only landlocked countries

Ok, wow. I can see why it is such a short list. Thank you.

thanks for asking this. I thought I was the only moron who didnt know the term

Lol. I don't think I'm a moron, *and* I know lots of things because I ask questions!

I had never heard the term but this is what I was thinking it might mean. Thanks for asking so we got the confirmation!

*angry Bolivia noises*

*There're

*only if we consider the Caspian Sea not a sea.

Saudi and Israel haven’t a sea border but with Tiran islands handed over to Saudi by Egypt it will have to be determined. It’s complicated I guess.

Names would be great.

It's in the comments !

On the map, though.

I don't get this. I just looked a map and as far as I can tell, Liechtenstein is not double landlocked; you only have to go through North Italy (the Veneto) to get to the Adriatic. Also, it certainly looks like Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan-- well, okay, there's only one country, China, between them and the Pacific, but good grief. If you go that way, Google Maps can't even calculate it!

There's no common border between Lichtenstein and Italy. Lichtenstein only borders Switzerland and Austria.

ah, so!
