I realised from a previous quiz question about landlocked countries that threw me because they have ships to travel to other countries. When you see pictures of Baku it is all wide water front. I suppose so does Chicago ... I finally realised the connection to other seas and oceans is key, so really, in effect, Caspian is just a very large lake.

(Superior and Michigan are connected to the Atlantic so the States & Provinces bordering them, are they landlocked? Hmm.)

2/3 of these countries are not in Africa, including the #1 and #2 answers. Your proposed title would be much more apt for some other quizzes, like, lowest HDI countries, lowest GDP per capita countries, countries with the most AIDS, or most religious countries.

Jul 9, 2013
Not according to most people, or the majority of articles on Wikipedia either (including the articles about the seas in question), but jetpunk, starting with this quiz I think, has adopted the position that any body of water not entirely cut off from an ocean is part of an ocean.

A small caveat about any country without a direct sea route to an ocean would clear up the confusion.

plattitude
+1
Level 89
Jan 2, 2014
I'd say that caveat is basically comprehended in the title of the quiz--Landlocked. The implication of a landlocked country is that it does not have native, direct access to global maritime trade.
kalbahamut

Level 83
Jan 5, 2014
That's simply not accurate. You are adding things to the common definition of the word. Look it up

Landlocked (adj)

definition 1: a country or region almost or entirely surrounded by land.

The definition used by this quiz is unusual. Doesn't make the quiz wrong, but it would be nice if some would stop treating people who are confused like they're morons when really they are confused because of the quizzes peculiarity; not because of any ignorance on their part.

Level 89
May 11, 2016
Well, that's your problem then :)

I respectfully submit that it should. For evidence, look at the Wikipedia article on Landlocked Countries. The definition is the first sentence of the article. The next half of the page is dedicated to why it is significant, dealing primarily with issues of trade and economic development.

kalbahamut
+1
Level 83
May 11, 2016
It's not uniquely my problem because I'm not the only person who feels it doesn't connote that. The definition you found on Wikipedia differs from the one I found in the dictionary. Maritime trade can and does take place across seas.

Maybe yours is a "better" definition. It might even be a more common definition. It's just not the only definition. No need to condescend about it as if it were. That's all I was trying to say.

Apologies if you found my reply condescending, I assure you, such was not my intent. In my mind the 'that's your problem, then' was intended to sound like Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame, and just acknowledge the difference in meaning in a humorous way, not to imply that you had, nor were the only one with, a problem. I think the biggest difference between our approaches is that of data vs information, and expectations of what the quiz was asking for.

So the States and Provinces around the Great Lakes are not landlocked because you can travel by water from them to the Atlantic?

If the Caspian invested in a major canal (to Black Sea?) then Azerbaijan,,Turkmenistan & Kazakhstan could become unlocked?

If the Mediterranean and Black seas aren't considered part of the ocean, Italy, Greece, Algeria, Turkey, and others become landlocked. I don't think you can argue any of those are landlocked.

@QuizWol: There is the Volga-Don canal in Russia that connects the Volga and Don rivers and allows ships to travel from the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea. It is not direct, but it always has water. There is a proposal for the Eurasia Canal through the Kuma-Manych Depression in Russia but the region is arid and would require a lot of water to be pumped in to facilitate canal travel.

I don't like the dictionary definition of a landlocked country. I think mine would be "a country that does not have a coastline on an ocean." However, the Mediterranean and Black (And Persian Gulf and Red) seas are well connected and do not require canals or rivers to be connected to the ocean. Another point is that if a river or something that connects an area to an ocean goes through another country, then it's landlocked. And that (in my opinion) is the best definition.

A coworker of mine always used the 'oil tanker test.' Can an oil tanker sail from Saudi Arabia (or whatever OPEC country) to your country? If not, then you're landlocked. This shows why the states and provinces QuizWol mentioned are not oceanfront property, and though the large tankers can navigate some canals (like the Suez and Panama), many canals are not large enough to accommodate them, so in spite of the Volga-Don canal, the Caspian Sea remains landlocked.
plattitude
+1
Level 89
May 2, 2022
@QuizWol, In your hypothetical massive Black-Caspian canal, I think that would only become unlocked if the canal were designated as international waters, which would (as I said above) give the countries on the Caspian direct, native access to global maritime trade. It's highly unlikely that such a relinquishment of territory would ever be made due to the high cost in building such a canal, and the profitability of operating it once it did exist.

It's hard to say what would happen if such a canal were created, perhaps crossing through sovereign territory of Russia. Perhaps enough pressure would be exerted, since it would essentially hold a monopoly on the service of shipping to the Caspian Sea, to make that channel neutral territory. However, since no analogous situation currently exists, that section of international law, like so many others, remains unwritten.

this thread is confusing and slightly irritating, to sum up, the Mediterranean and black sea are connected to the ocean through straits i.e. bosporus dardenelles gibraltar. the caspian sea is a lake, or better described, a inland sea, only connected through rivers i.e. volga. similarly the great lakes or genrally considered an inland sea, not a regular one, plus some may argue the st lawrence seaway connects it to the ocean like that of a strait, but the lawrence seaway isnt as large as say the strait of gibraltar of the bosporus, so that analogy is irrelevant. basically azerbaijan, kazakstan and turkmenistan are landlocked, and countries like, italy, ukraine, tunisia, along with other coutries bordering and ocean or a sea connected to the ocean, are not landlocked. thank you for you time if you made it this far

I don't think that it was neccesary given the quizmaster was just making a lighthearted joke, it was not particularly condescending or patronising, a point reaffirmed by the presence of a smiley face.

Secondly, to which comment above do you refer? You have many seeings as you seem to have become self-appointed grand poobah of this quiz. Regardless, none of your comments seem to directly refer to Georgia or its lack of landlock'edness anyway. If any answer here is condescending it is much more likely yours or my own.

The Black Sea is connected to the Mediterranean Sea which connects to the Atlantic Ocean. The Caspian Sea is inland and does not connect in any way to an ocean. So, figuratively the Black Sea could be considered part of the ocean.

good point, as many inland lakes are connected to the ocean through rivers. but as pointed out before, jetpunk has adopted a certain stance on this issue and, in spite of many people always being confused and complaining about it, has decided that it's better to condescend toward those people and act as though the complainers are somehow ignorant, rather than providing simple and clear explanations. The caveat at the top about seas being part of oceans is helpful, though it still has the matter-of-fact and patronizing tone of certainty.

Technically not a river but a strait. Even though at its narrowest point the Bosporus is only 700 m across, or 0.7 km. By contrast the Amazon River is 325 km across at its widest point, and connects Bolivia to the Atlantic Ocean. I suppose the difference is the water is only flowing in one direction?

Dec 30, 2013
There's no need to get so worked up over technical terms, and besides if you are comparing the 'Bosporus' to the Amazon River you should compare the narrowest point of each rather than the narrowest of one and widest of another. For all I know from the information given by you, the Amazon could be funnel-shaped and may be less than 500 metres at its narrowest. And what kind of final statement is that? Is it even a statement? Or a question? Some people are much too haphazard with their use of question marks.

Haven't you heard? Lamplighter Don settled it once and for all and moved it to South America. Not sure whether it's now landlocked or not.

Fun fact:

Bolivia used to have a coastline but lost it to Chile in 1884 after the Saltpeter War. To this day, the country maintains a navy on Lake Titicaca. Every year on 23 March, called Dia del Mar (the Day of the Sea), the people of Bolivia commemorate the loss of the coastline.

Never get between a Bolivia and its coast.

Interestingly, while Moldova meets the criteria because it doesn't have a coastline, for practical purposes it is not truly landlocked because it has a "seaport" on the Danube river and access to the Black Sea by international treaty.

All of these people reading this think that I'm talking to them, but I'm really talking to YOU.

Jesus is looking down on you right this moment, and He is waiting for you to commit yourself to Him. Read a passage from the Bible, and pray and ask Jesus to enter your life. Trust me, your life will get a whole lot better.

"Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun."

-Psalms 37:5-6

Remember, it all starts with YOU.
