  1. Liechtenstein is double landlocked, requiring passage through at least two other countries to reach the nearest shore.

  2. having no access to the sea is different from just being landlocked

    most of these countries do have access to the see through the river system they can freely use

  3. I live in Switzerland, perhaps 10 km from the Rhine river port in Basel. Special Rhine sized container and fuel ships navigate here from Rotterdam and the Atlantic. So, I suppose landlocked is not inaccurate, but the Rhine provides sea access

  4. These countries all have access to water. They don’t have sea access with a coastline, but all the countries on the Danube have access to the Black Sea as it’s an international waterway.

    I think landlocked countries tend to be poorer. They didn’t participate in trading when ships were the main mode of transport for trading and they got a bit left behind

  6. Bosnia lucky to not be on this map thanks to Croatia generously allowing them a metre of coastline.

  7. For Macedonia is really not a problem cause Thessaloniki is like 200km from the farthest town, and there’s a railway to there. It’s basically our port. When we were in a bit of a spat with Greece we also had many other countries to choose from, like Bulgaria and Albania. The infrastructure is still not as it should be to those ports as Thessaloniki is the easiest.

    Fun fact: on older Austrian maps, mountains are 2 meters higher than the same mountains on German maps. Why? Mountains are measured “above sea level,” and Austria had a port on the Mediterranean Sea in Trieste, which is about 2 meters lower than the Atlantic Ocean, where Northern Europe measures its mountains.
