You said that Nepal is landlocked by only Russia and India. It is actually India and China. I think you made this mistake because you mentioned Mongolia just before which you correctly stated is landlocked by only China and Russia so Russia was in you mind.
@@QWERTY-gp8fd 😂 Oh really? 🤣 You must be thinking about sea-storms and keeping an eye on the “dangerous weather” in an app, having to do with each country’s coastal cities and their crime rates so much every day. *Besides, is it not correct that deserts* (including the Mongolian desert) *would be more unsafe for your health than enjoying a beautiful sight at the sea coast?* Just think, if you’re in a desert: you would be far away from your house and You would only be traveling a long distance, while the sun would be shining hot. Then … Would you not get sun burnt at all? If the desert includes sand, would you really survive through a sand-storm? Finally, would you not realize that you will eventually go hungry and starve to death? 🙂 I mean, If you packed up food for the desert, you may run out of it. Anyways, I don’t want to burn in a desert, *so yes thanks to the seacoast being a beautiful sight.* besides I don’t really think about “crime rates” in coastal cities that much, as I will think about Ukraine facing crime against Russia and Israel facing crime against Palestine often these days. *I feel much safer to avoid drowning in the ocean than to become hungry in Mongolian desert.* 😊

As someone who lived across various places in central Europe, it is fascinating how other people find landlocked countries as something special, while for us it was always the other way around :D
Europe is full of rivers piercing through it and with open borders and easy trade opportunities with good transportation infrastructure. It doesn't feel like they're landlocked at all!
I am from Czech Republic (which is landlocked) and I remember being young at school we would talk with teacher like why we dont have a sea, how it's so horrible we can't just go to swim in the sea and the beaches. And since my family only took me once to a holiday to sea, I was soo sad I just don't have the opportunity to swim in the sea. xD Also us czechs everytime talking about this topic, we will mention the small season in a history where Bohemia would have acces to a sea through part of austra, part of Italy and whole Slovenia (not even for a century but whatewa) in 13. century haha
Despite all the little blunders, I appreciate finally someone calling the Vatican a "so-called country". Otherwise known as the only country with a full-time population of 0, since every "citizen" is a citizen only for the duration of their employment.
That doesn’t seem right. But I’m glad to learn something about Vatican. According to your statement, I wouldn’t want to call Vatican City “a country”, and at the same time, I would just consider it “a part of Italy” for its country name.
Having grown up in Hungary (with many of our neightbours also being landlocked), it was a strange revelation that sea access is nothing special, in fact it is the norm and we are the exception.
Made me think about how big my country is, and I went on to search and about 10% of our population has never gone to the beach. 20 million people here never saw the ocean in person; they live like you guys, having only lakes and rivers as the norm of bodies of water

Thanks for the time up put into the video. Next time do one more edit, others on here mentioned some mistakes already, i'll add that 🇦🇲 Armenia is also landlocked.
Here's a list for US states. Ocean access: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii. Oceangoing ship access by river: Pennsylvania. Great Lakes (oceangoing ships with some size limits): Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota. River barges: West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Idaho. Landlocked: Vermont, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona.
Doesn't matter, it's still access to the sea, therefore, not landlocked. If any authority in Bosnia desired to, they could leave the country by sea. They also have two small islands in the Adriatic. You don't need a significant port to not be landlocked. The same goes for Slovenia.
East-Timor also shares a land border with Indonesia. It might have been interesting to mention that Ethiopia only became a landlocked country when Eritrea became an independent country.
Many of the landlocked European countries have maritime access via river barges, though not oceangoing ships. Moldova and Paraguay are the only two landlocked countries which oceangoing ships can reach via rivers.
I have only hurt one person in a fight in my life; when I was in the first grade of elementary (6-7 years old). in time between classes I was talking to a one of my friends and a bunch of other kids were around. someone mentioned going to the Caspian Sea and (being a wise-ass)I said: "Its actually a lake not a sea". someone in that group I didn't know replied: "You are stupid, if it's not a sea, why is it called the Caspian Sea" (we are speaking in persian, but we still call it a sea in persian)". I was so mad at that kid, we started arguing and he kept calling me stupid, so I said:"Lets see the map" and I grabbed him by the ear to drag him to the map. a few seconds later he started crying, his ear was partially torn off. there was a massive scar on the back of his ear that was caused by me pulling him towards the school map to show him the "Caspian lake". I remember a part of his ear becoming detached from the main part of the scull but I don't remember anything else. I hope that kid is doing well and still has his ear.
On the map, it will tell you that it’s “Caspian SEA” and not “Caspian Lake”. In this case, I like the stranger’s reply to you within your group. Of course, any place that includes a lake, sea, gulf, etc … - should have “Lake” in its official name, only if it’s a LAKE. - should have “Sea” in its official name, only if it is a SEA. - should have “Gulf” in its official name, only if it is a GULF, etc. 🙂 Finally, Confusing a lake for a sea (or vice-versa) is ridiculous.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is practically landlocked as they don't have a seaport on their short coastline and only a holiday/resort town, almost all their sea trade goes through Croatia and Croat ports
Bosnia and Herzegovina actually not landlocked if you zoom in closer you can see that Bosnia and Herzegovina has a coastline with the Mediterranean sea
Doesn't matter, it's still access to the sea, therefore, not landlocked. If anyone in Bosnia wanted to, they could leave the country by sea. You don't need a significant port to not be landlocked. The same goes for Slovenia.
Umm, a little correction at 3:23, Ethiopia is not the 6th largest country on Earth. That title belongs to Australia with more than 7 million km^2. In fact, the only African country on the top 10 largest countries in the world by land area is Algeria on 10th place. Second, Nepal is not surrounded by Russia and India, but China and India, like Bhutan
@@LST25 yeah, but it was mentioned that Bolivia & Paraguay didn’t used to be landlocked until international disputes in the 18th century cut their access to the ocean & caused them to be landlocked - 1993 is a bit more recent than that. Thought I’d point it out, that’s all.
I've only been to one of those countries, Zambia 🇿🇲, and it's the furthest I've been from an ocean. When I went to Kenya, my hotel was by the beach just outside Mombasa on the Indian ocean Coast. Being from County Kerry in the Southwest of Ireland, I grew up and live pretty close to the Atlantic ocean.

Every country containing asterisks = ones that Google or the video author did not count as “landlocked countries” but I think they should be counted as such, being as *a “Gulf” is not really the same as an ocean, sea, lake or canal* and that *Baltic Sea is similar to Caspian Sea* (when it comes to landlocked countries in my view) *versus the Mediterranean and Red Sea* (in comparison). 🙂
@@Zyxl- well … even the gulf of Aqaba may have access to the Red Sea which has access to the Mediterranean Sea or Indian Ocean, but still *I think even Jordan* 🇯🇴 *should be a landlocked country with a bit of its coast touching the gulf of Aqaba.* I especially have mentioned about 🇯🇴 and the gulf under someone else’s comment too! 🙂
Why countries on Baltic sea should be landlocked? They have access to Atlantic ocean through natural waterways, the Danish straights. Same as claiming counties on Mediterranian are landlocked. They also have a very narrow waterway to Atlantic, Gibraltar straight. Your claim is bonkers. Caspian Sea is a LAKE. Baltic Sea is NOT A LAKE. And Gulf of Aqaba is NOT A LAKE.
@@RoyalMela Although it shows 2 likes for this comment, I really get 10 thumbs-up for it. Anyways, LAKES DON’T MAKE COUNTRIES LANDLOCKED. Plus, *I don’t care what are lakes and what are not lakes.* - In the Middle East, Aqaba is not called a sea, an ocean or a lake. - Aqaba is a GULF. I don’t care that the Baltic Sea has access to the Atlantic Ocean. - The Mediterranean Sea is what separates the continents from one another (except Eurasia). - The Red Sea is what separates the continent Africa from Asia. - The Baltic Sea is completely within Europe just as the Caspian Sea is completely within Asia. - *If the Caspian Sea is a lake, then why is it called a sea?* 🤔 I should read it say CASPIAN LAKE on google maps and NOT CASPIAN SEA. - Claiming countries on the Baltic Sea as landlocked, is not the same as claiming countries on the Mediterranean Sea as landlocked. *I find it the same as claiming “the countries surrounding the Caspian Sea as landlocked” however.* - Caspian Sea is also NOT AN OCEAN, RIVER, etc. BUT A SEA whether you like it or not. - Baltic Sea is also NOT AN OCEAN, GULF, POND, etc. BUT A SEA. - Gulf of Aqaba is also NOT AN OCEAN, SEA, RIVER, etc. BUT A GULF. *Finally, my claim is not bonkers! Your words are bonkers.* ->Plus, I also think similar to your question: *Why should countries need access to the ocean to be considered landlocked?* They sure can be both “landlocked by a Gulf or a sea completely within a whole continent” AND “have access to an ocean at once”. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not a problem.
If I can’t include the countries that surround the Baltic Sea or the Gulf of Aqaba (while they at the same time do not touch the Mediterranean Sea or Red Sea; including the 5 oceans) then I’m not going to count the countries surrounding the Caspian Sea as “landlocked countries” either. Therefore, the Landlocked Countries are (in that case) … 1) Bolivia 2) Paraguay 3) Mali 4) Burkina Faso 5) Niger 6) Chad 7) Central African Republic 8) South Sudan 9) Ethiopia 10) Uganda 11) Rwanda 12) Burundi 13) Malawi 14) Zambia 15) Zimbabwe 16) Botswana 17) Eswatini 18) Lesotho 19) Andorra 20) Luxembourg 21) Switzerland 22) Liechtenstein 23) San Marino 24) Austria 25) Czechia 26) Slovakia 27) Hungary 28) Serbia 29) North Macedonia 30) Belarus 31) Moldova 32) Armenia 33) Uzbekistan 34) Afghanistan 35) Tajikistan 36) Kyrgyzstan 37) Nepal 38) Bhutan 39) Laos 40) Mongolia Yep, that’s right and it’s not even 44 - as google or this video counts more than 40! 🙂
I’m from New Zealand, as mentioned in the video as the least landlocked and most remote country in the world. To me it would feel very strange living in a country with no access to the ocean. Aldi some of these landlocked countries may not have lakes and rivers so maybe some of these countries residents would never see a body of water?
Other than the Vatican, which only has a very small pond in the middle of a car park, I doubt it, because you would really be able to sustain human life without access to water. But then the Vatican is just a church + associated buildings in the middle of Rome that happens to be its own country.
Actually Volga-Don canal in Russia gives access to medium sized ships from Caspain Sea to Black sea and onto Mediterranean sea. So technically on paper at least a Kazakhstani ship can sail from Kazakhstan to New York or London in reality the cost would not be worth it.

I think a “gulf” is different than it being called a sea or ocean, and therefore Jordan should be a part of landlocked countries being as it’s not touching the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal or the Indian Ocean (includes Gulf of Aden, Red Sea and Gulf of Suez)! 🙂
I almost drowned the first time I went to the sea so I'm actually happy to live 1000 km away to the sea, find it an over-idealized place (but have to reckon the fresh air of the sea is relaxing). Many of the landlocked countries despite no having coastline have huge mountains, and we in Paraguay don't have anything of those, so we are just there, existing.
Kazakhstan does not have a coastline, the caspian ‘sea’ is technically a lake, it’s just been given that name due to its size. And you wouldn’t say that the borders of a lake is coastline
Hmm … well I am one person out of who knows how many that will call it “a sea” rather than a lake, being as SEA is in the name “Caspian Sea”! *I will not agree to it being a lake, if people like you rather want to call it “a lake”.* 🙂
Coincidentally, the country of Jordan just west of Iraq is just barely coastal, with a 26 km (16 m) coastline on the Red Sea. Some people don’t consider this as a coastline, but I do.
Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Serbia and other landlocked countries along the Danube could be considered “not landlocked” as the Danube River is an international waterway connecting to the Mediterranean Sea. The Danube is not part of any of the countries and is thus “international water”.
That does not mean that they are not landlocked.They’d not border the sea or anything. Black Sea would be a lake if they weren’t connected to Black Sea.
I am merely wondering how an international body of water like the Danube River is any different than say, the Black Sea, or Mediterranean Sea, which connects to the larger global ocean through small openings. One could say the country is physically landlocked but legally speaking, by virtue of having a navigable waterway considered international water able to reach the global ocean - they are politically not landlocked.
The Danube touches the Moldovan border at its southernmost tip, and forms the border for 200 metres (656 ft). So Moldova can reach the Black Sea through the river
Moldova has free access to international waters from the Port of Giurgiulești. The Danube is an international waterway there. Other landlocked countries need to ask a permission to eventually go through other countries'rivers.
You forgot Jordan which has a little bit of a coastline too in the red sea if Saudi Arabia and Israel block that Jordan will become a landlocked country
That last sentence is flat-out wrong. "I myself live in the UK, which is of course an island country". Um... no. The UK has a land border with Ireland.
Having a border with Ireland, another island country does not make what he said not true. You could’ve brought up to a Bolar like most people with common sense do but you did it you brought up Ireland proving you’re the one who has no idea about geography.

@@GoldenSandslash15 you still don’t understand do you? It doesn’t matter that it has a land border because that land border is on another island. Do you know what an Island country is? “An island country, island state, or island nation is a country whose primary territory consists of one or more islands or parts of islands. Approximately 25% of all independent countries are island countries.” “a country that is entirely made up of one or more islands” No one use your made up definition because it is stupid.
When it comes to coastlines, I suppose I live near many of the finest in the world and never go to them. It's far too crowded for my liking. There are always downfalls.
Papua new guinea is not the only country in Oceania that has a land border. There's them, Indonesia, borneo, Malaysia, and Brunei. Also, nepal is bordered by India and China, not Russia.

@@LST25 yeah, but it was mentioned that Bolivia & Paraguay didn’t used to be landlocked until international disputes in the 18th century cut their access to the ocean & caused them to be landlocked - 1993 is a bit more recent than that. Thought I’d point it out, that’s all.

You want Ethiopia to get a sea
Soon will change
Also Jordan is another with very tiny coastline
I've only been to one of those countries, Zambia 🇿🇲, and it's the furthest I've been from an ocean. When I went to Kenya, my hotel was by the beach just outside Mombasa on the Indian ocean Coast. Being from County Kerry in the Southwest of Ireland, I grew up and live pretty close to the Atlantic ocean.
interesting video fun to watch. a correction though 4:56 nepal is sandwiched between china and india, not russia and india , i also believe Liechtenstein is pronounced closer to lihkt-in-shtine as opposed to lich-in-stine
I think it’s more pronounced as litch-tin-stine than those 2 ways you mentioned. 🙂

Side Note: *Being as the author of this video* (and google) *counts the countries surrounding the Caspian Sea* (at the same time not touching the Arctic or Indian Ocean) *as landlocked countries,* I personally think that countries surrounding the Baltic Sea (at the same time not touching the Arctic or Atlantic Ocean) should be counted as landlocked countries too.
* = the countries that are right next to the Baltic Sea, but at the same time seem landlocked.
** = the country that includes a bit of its land border right next to the Gulf of Aqaba.
* * * = the country that is easily questionable for it being one of the many landlocked countries because a Croatian bridge 🇭🇷 named “Pelješac Bridge” makes B&H 🇧🇦 seem like it is landlocked with the Bridge at its northwest and Croatia land at its north, west and south - when being zoomed in on a map.
Every country containing asterisks = ones that Google or the video author did not count as “landlocked countries” but I think they should be counted as such, being as *a “Gulf” is not really the same as an ocean, sea, lake or canal* and that *Baltic Sea is similar to Caspian Sea* (when it comes to landlocked countries in my view) *versus the Mediterranean and Red Sea* (in comparison). 🙂
The Baltic sea actually has access to the Atlantic/Artic
@@Zyxl- well … even the gulf of Aqaba may have access to the Red Sea which has access to the Mediterranean Sea or Indian Ocean, but still *I think even Jordan* 🇯🇴 *should be a landlocked country with a bit of its coast touching the gulf of Aqaba.*
I especially have mentioned about 🇯🇴 and the gulf under someone else’s comment too! 🙂
Why countries on Baltic sea should be landlocked? They have access to Atlantic ocean through natural waterways, the Danish straights.
Same as claiming counties on Mediterranian are landlocked. They also have a very narrow waterway to Atlantic, Gibraltar straight.
Your claim is bonkers.
Caspian Sea is a LAKE. Baltic Sea is NOT A LAKE. And Gulf of Aqaba is NOT A LAKE.
@@RoyalMela Although it shows 2 likes for this comment, I really get 10 thumbs-up for it.
Anyways, LAKES DON’T MAKE COUNTRIES LANDLOCKED.
Plus, *I don’t care what are lakes and what are not lakes.*
- In the Middle East, Aqaba is not called a sea, an ocean or a lake.
- Aqaba is a GULF. I don’t care that the Baltic Sea has access to the Atlantic Ocean.
- The Mediterranean Sea is what separates the continents from one another (except Eurasia).
- The Red Sea is what separates the continent Africa from Asia.
- The Baltic Sea is completely within Europe just as the Caspian Sea is completely within Asia.
- *If the Caspian Sea is a lake, then why is it called a sea?* 🤔 I should read it say CASPIAN LAKE on google maps and NOT CASPIAN SEA.
- Claiming countries on the Baltic Sea as landlocked, is not the same as claiming countries on the Mediterranean Sea as landlocked. *I find it the same as claiming “the countries surrounding the Caspian Sea as landlocked” however.*
- Caspian Sea is also NOT AN OCEAN, RIVER, etc. BUT A SEA whether you like it or not.
- Baltic Sea is also NOT AN OCEAN, GULF, POND, etc. BUT A SEA.
- Gulf of Aqaba is also NOT AN OCEAN, SEA, RIVER, etc. BUT A GULF.
*Finally, my claim is not bonkers! Your words are bonkers.*
->Plus, I also think similar to your question: *Why should countries need access to the ocean to be considered landlocked?* They sure can be both “landlocked by a Gulf or a sea completely within a whole continent” AND “have access to an ocean at once”. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not a problem.
If I can’t include the countries that surround the Baltic Sea or the Gulf of Aqaba (while they at the same time do not touch the Mediterranean Sea or Red Sea; including the 5 oceans) then I’m not going to count the countries surrounding the Caspian Sea as “landlocked countries” either.
Therefore, the Landlocked Countries are (in that case) …
1) Bolivia

Yep, that’s right and it’s not even 44 - as google or this video counts more than 40! 🙂
I’m from New Zealand, as mentioned in the video as the least landlocked and most remote country in the world. To me it would feel very strange living in a country with no access to the ocean. Aldi some of these landlocked countries may not have lakes and rivers so maybe some of these countries residents would never see a body of water?
Other than the Vatican, which only has a very small pond in the middle of a car park, I doubt it, because you would really be able to sustain human life without access to water. But then the Vatican is just a church + associated buildings in the middle of Rome that happens to be its own country.
No river at all? I doubt that very much, unless we are talking about a very small city-sized country.
Ethiopia being landlocked warms my heart. They’ll never get access to the sea. Ya Allah! For their transgressions against Somalia.
Actually Volga-Don canal in Russia gives access to medium sized ships from Caspain Sea to Black sea and onto Mediterranean sea. So technically on paper at least a Kazakhstani ship can sail from Kazakhstan to New York or London in reality the cost would not be worth it.
That doesn’t make it not landlocked
Jordan is also just barely not landlocked
That makes for a great list - countries that are barely not landlocked
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander looking for an open driving lane. Dashes inside, spins, Vassell bites, step back… is true! SGA with the big time elbow jumper, while being draped by the defense, is still able to find a way to get the shot off successfully and put his team in the drivers seat.
Yes it has a coast line by the city of Aqaba
I think a “gulf” is different than it being called a sea or ocean, and therefore Jordan should be a part of landlocked countries being as it’s not touching the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal or the Indian Ocean (includes Gulf of Aden, Red Sea and Gulf of Suez)! 🙂
@@craiglungren8703 You think in an odd way. Jordan has a coastline. Gulf of Aqaba is not a lake.
Ethiopia being landlocked by a few kms lol
Shortest coasts?
I almost drowned the first time I went to the sea so I'm actually happy to live 1000 km away to the sea, find it an over-idealized place (but have to reckon the fresh air of the sea is relaxing).
Many of the landlocked countries despite no having coastline have huge mountains, and we in Paraguay don't have anything of those, so we are just there, existing.
You have the Paraná river tho
Kazakhstan does not have a coastline, the caspian ‘sea’ is technically a lake, it’s just been given that name due to its size. And you wouldn’t say that the borders of a lake is coastline
Hmm … well I am one person out of who knows how many that will call it “a sea” rather than a lake, being as SEA is in the name “Caspian Sea”! *I will not agree to it being a lake, if people like you rather want to call it “a lake”.* 🙂
the map is shown at 6:02. Thank me later. P.s there are some mistakes being said in the video.
Coincidentally, the country of Jordan just west of Iraq is just barely coastal, with a 26 km (16 m) coastline on the Red Sea. Some people don’t consider this as a coastline, but I do.
Moldova is also have small acces to Black Sea through the river.
So
Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan do have access to the open sea via the Volga-Don Canal.
This guy is on something 😂😂
Wait how can Ethiopia be the 6th biggest country in the world and 10th in Africa
There was a correction in the video in the corner. He knows he made a mistake.
I can’t imagine not living near water
Botswana is Landlocked, but you didn't include it in your list of Landlocked countries. 🙏🏼
Brunei actually just borders the Philippines and Indonesia. So Brunei also borders just two countrys.
I am so sorry for the people who has never got to see the beach :'(
I am from Central Asia. But I can go to any ocean or beach. This isn't a problem in XXI century :)
You missed Chile and Brazil surrounding Bolivia
Nepal is bordered by the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China and India.
4:57 just a small mistake, you said russia and india, its china and india
Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Serbia and other landlocked countries along the Danube could be considered “not landlocked” as the Danube River is an international waterway connecting to the Mediterranean Sea. The Danube is not part of any of the countries and is thus “international water”.
That does not mean that they are not landlocked.They’d not border the sea or anything. Black Sea would be a lake if they weren’t connected to Black Sea.
I am merely wondering how an international body of water like the Danube River is any different than say, the Black Sea, or Mediterranean Sea, which connects to the larger global ocean through small openings.
One could say the country is physically landlocked but legally speaking, by virtue of having a navigable waterway considered international water able to reach the global ocean - they are politically not landlocked.
@@rebeccawinter472 Danube is a river. Black Sea is a sea.
The Danube touches the Moldovan border at its southernmost tip, and forms the border for 200 metres (656 ft). So Moldova can reach the Black Sea through the river
So what if counted rivers then there wouldn’t be any landlocked countries
Moldova has free access to international waters from the Port of Giurgiulești. The Danube is an international waterway there. Other landlocked countries need to ask a permission to eventually go through other countries'rivers.
@@lucatavianmilano that still doesn’t make it not landlocked it needs access to the ocean directly otherwise a coast
@@lucatavianmilano Still a river.
8:49 actually Iran in the 1980-1988 war temporarily occupied the region
Being landlocked = no tsunamis
You forgot Jordan which has a little bit of a coastline too in the red sea if Saudi Arabia and Israel block that Jordan will become a landlocked country
What about Laos 🇱🇦
POV -Every landlocked countries are less developed
I know of a province that has the third largest oil and gas fields. Landlocked by its own nation.
No beaches?
No bitches?

4:58 you said nepal is surrounded by Russia and India which is totally wrong
That last sentence is flat-out wrong. "I myself live in the UK, which is of course an island country". Um... no. The UK has a land border with Ireland.
Having a border with Ireland, another island country does not make what he said not true. You could’ve brought up to a Bolar like most people with common sense do but you did it you brought up Ireland proving you’re the one who has no idea about geography.
@@zach2382 The UK is not an island. Great Britain is an island, but the UK also includes Northern Ireland. That is not on the same island.
@@GoldenSandslash15 that not how this works at all by your poor attempt at logic. There’s only one island country Nauru because it’s the only one that has political control over just one island. Please think before you speak
@@zach2382 Full list of countries that don't have any land borders: Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Bahrain, Barbados, Cape Verde, Comoros, Cuba, Dominica, Fiji, Grenada, Iceland, Jamaica, Japan, Kiribati, Madagascar, Maldivs, Malta, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Philippines, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, São Tomé and Principe, Seychelles, Singapore (though they have a bridge connecting them to Malaysia, so this one arguably shouldn't count), Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tuvalu, Vanuatu
@@GoldenSandslash15 you still don’t understand do you? It doesn’t matter that it has a land border because that land border is on another island. Do you know what an Island country is? “An island country, island state, or island nation is a country whose primary territory consists of one or more islands or parts of islands. Approximately 25% of all independent countries are island countries.” “a country that is entirely made up of one or more islands” No one use your made up definition because it is stupid.
When it comes to coastlines, I suppose I live near many of the finest in the world and never go to them. It's far too crowded for my liking. There are always downfalls.
