Apart from that one aside about international diplomacy and a port: for the rest of the networks I did not include rivers, even if they are navigable to an ocean. I appreciate these would change things like London and apparently the USA has some super great lakes.

I think I noticed a tiny little error in your graph/network of great britain. It shows Cheshire as landlocked, instead of on the coast. I think the connection between Merseyside and whatever county lies to the west of it should not be there. If Cheshire would be landlocked, like it shows on the graph, it would make for a few more double landlocked counties. I am not from GB, but on a map it looks like Cheshire does have a short coastline. Or am I getting something wrong? Otherwise cool way to visualise the whole thing!

So I checked the European NUTS-2 statistical regions, and the most landlocked appears to be Prague, that is 5-landlocked (!!), being completely surrounded by the Central Bohemian Region that is itself isolated from all other countries by at least one other region. After that, you still have to cross at least 3 regions in other countries to get to the sea (for exemple through Germany, you have Saxony, then Brandenburg and finally Mecklenburg-Vorpommern)

Matt, Regarding the United States. For those states that border a Great Lake, you might say they are not technically landlocked. The Great lakes have seaports on them where there are ocean going ships. The Great lakes are also considered international water. Now if you are thinking of the ocean only, then they are landlocked.

Lesotho is an interesting country as it's completely surrounded by South Africa and I was reminded of it when you were talking about landlocked countries with no ocean access. So a delegation from South Africa met a delegation from Lesotho, and one by one were introduced to each other, but one particular individual caused a lot of confusion - Lesotho's Minister for Oceans and Fisheries. The South African delegation went into a huddle and there was a lot of discussion, an occasional pause and finger pointing, back to more discussion, before finally one of the South African ministers got up the courage to ask how it is that Lesotho has a Minister for Oceans and Fisheries when they don't have access to the ocean. The Lesotho delegation went into their own huddle, and occasionally someone would point at someone and then they'd get back into the huddle and talk some more, and eventually a spokesman for the Lesotho delegation responded with a question of his own, "How come, South Africa has a Minister of Law and Order?"

Weird map fact. Here's a 3-landlocked (part of a) country! At 51.43882079644939, 4.932110205114705. It's the left side of a house on the molenstraat in Baarle-Nassau/Baarle-Hertog. That part of the house is in Belgium, and that part of the house is 3-landlocked, in a way. To get out of the house, you go through the front door which is in (2-landlocked) Netherlands. Isn't the Netherlands bordering on the sea? No, not that part. To get out of that little bitty piece of the Netherlands you have to go through a (1-landlocked) piece of Belgium called Baarle-Hertog. And because Baarle-Hertog is an "enclave" of Belgium within the Netherlands, you cannot go to the sea from there unless you cross the border to (0-landlocked) mainland Netherlands first. And yes, this is a huge mess. Interesting times in that region during conflicting covid lockdown regimes over the last years...

Many of those 2 "land-locked" US states have major river ports that connect all the way to the gulf of Mexico and the intracoastal waterway (and hence the entire east coast up to NYC). This is the same situation you mentioned with the Danube and Maldova except that the MS river basin is massive and navigable insanely far into the country. Specifically, the eastern border of Nebraska is the Missouri river. Hence the weird curve. The largest city in the state (Omaha) is located on that river.

It would depend on the degree of navagability and the ownership of said water. Traveling most rivers and coastal waters in the US you are not in shared waters, and so you pass through borders just the same as a land border.

They are all in the west: AZ, CO, MT, NV, NM, ND, SD, UT, and WY.

@garrick3727 Год назад

Many countries have navigable rivers that connect ot an ocean, so if this method was used almost nowhere would be landlocked. Taking the spirit of the exercise into account, the idea is how many other regions of the same type do you have to pass through to get to a region boundary that meets a sea. The City of London, for example, requires you to pass through two counties to get to the sea, even though you can literally get into a boat on the Thames and be out to see in 10 minutes. The river itself still passes through two counties. Obviously this works less well for the US because it is unfair that you cannot pass through Canada or Mexico.

Or rather profiteroles and lebkuchen. And actually it might not be appropriate to use department. Maybe regions would be more analogous. But then I'd argue that the 18 French regions are comparable to the 9 English regions rather than counties. And so if we're considering English counties then we can allow French department. But then instead of German states, it would be maybe Regierungsbezirk but I really don't know.

I believe the birds you saw in Nebraska were guineas. They are a fairly common bird to be used in place of a guard dog or similar. I learned this when I lived in Oklahoma (just to Nebraska's south)!

The Liechtentime joke and montage are why I subscribe. THAT SAID, I take offense at all the states on the Great Lakes and the Mississippi being called “land locked.”

@piltdownfilms Год назад

Someone showed me a map like yours that had the landlocked and double landlocked states on the key in different colors, then one last color that was just labeled Nebraska :) Also working remotely from here my boss will occasionally tease me, "have you ever even seen an ocean?" We do have a nice Zoo here, and a college football team whose quality has varied quite a bit over the last 3 decades. Also lots of farmland.

I argue the Great Lakes count to some extent- they are basically seas by size

@Hadar1991 Год назад

Almost, because what is important it is having access to ocean. Yes, you can go from Great Lakes to Atlantic Ocean via Saint Lawrence River, but it requires Canada's permission and in case of USA-Canada War, then Canada can easily block the access through the Saint Lawrence River. There is canal joining Mississippi and Lake Michigan, which gives the Great Lakes states access to Atlantic Ocean via Gulf of Mexico, but I am not sure how effective this waterway is maintained by USA and how many of globaly exported products you have that are in tge Great Lakes region.

@@Hadar1991 if there was ever a US/Canada war, Canada would not be able to keep the St. Lawrence access blocked for long. 😂

The Belgian province of Luxembourg (not to be confused with the country) would count as a triple landlocked province. To get to the sea you need to pass through Namur, Hainaut and then West-Flanders. Or you can go through France passing through Ardennes, Aisne and then Nord or Somme. EDIT: That does assume you're looking at the provices and not the regions (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels).

@HappyBeezerStudios Год назад

Yeah, different Nations have different ways to split them. Are Belgian provinces and Regions comperable to French regions and departments or german Länder and Kreise? Would the equivalent to belgian Regions/french regions/german Länder be the british countries of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?

@brunoparga Год назад

@@HappyBeezerStudios the sane way is NUTS 1 regions, which is what US states would be.

@SpikeMaster90000000 Год назад

Arguably it's only double-landlocked, due to how France handles its regions now (Luxembourg, BE -> Grand Est, FR -> Hauts-de-France, FR)

Another interesting question is to ask for sets of 4 countries, all of which border each other. (4 is the theoretical maximum number you can do this for, because of Euler's formula; however, with non-contiguous countries more is possible, and was achieved during the European colonial times.) There was a Wikipedia page with a list, but sadly it got deleted. You can see it on the wayback machine, though.

@fermitupoupon1754 Год назад

Wouldn't that be relatively easy though? For example France, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands. Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands obviously border each other, there's even a tourist attraction around the so-called "point of three countries". And France and The Netherlands share a border on the island of St. Martin between Martinique and St. Maarten.

In spanish we call "gráfico" a yx graph, for example, and "grafo" a graph with vertices and the rest. "Graph theory" is "Teoría de Grafos".

Similar in Dutch with Graaf and Grafiek... unfortunately the term Graaf is also the noble title roughly equivalent to count

you can find triple or maybe quadruple landlock administrative regions depending the scale. In europe you can take the regions of france, Bourgonne Franche-Comté is triple land lock to the mediterean sea, atlantic ocean.
