Landlocked country
From Metapedia
A landlocked country is commonly defined as one enclosed or nearly enclosed by land.[1][1][1][1] As of 2008, there are 44 landlocked countries in the world.
A sea that is almost landlocked is connected to the oceans by a strait only, such as the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Black Sea. This may be of strategic importance, with one or two other countries controlling the entrance, and/or be relevant for tides and freshwater content.
An island country can be conversely considered waterlocked[1] as it is entirely surrounded by water. In such cases, one must cross water to reach land abroad.
