That is, are landlocked in the sense that they are surrounded by other countries that are themselves all landlocked?
Spoiler
Uzbekistan (think “Tashkent”) and Liechtenstein (think – oh, really, it’s so small that it doesn’t have a city!)

What two countries are doubly-landlocked?

Re: Landlockedlocked
What is the definition of landlocked? Uzbekistan borders on Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, both of which border on the Caspian Sea...

Landlocked as in Admiral(?) Mahan's great work circa 1900 on mastery of "the sea" being that sole interconnected mass of saline water that circles the globe.HansV wrote:What is the definition of landlocked?...

Re: Landlockedlocked
OK, thanks (the Caspian Sea has salt water but it has no outflow, so it is not connected directly or indirectly to an ocean).
Best wishes,

Re: Landlockedlocked
The Caspian sea isn't in danger of disappearing - it's fed by Europe's largest river, the Volga. However, its neighbor to the East, the Aral Sea, has almost disappeared because the rivers that fed it were diverted for irrigation.
