About this quiz
Ribbia counts 197 countries: the 193 members of the United Nations plus Vatican City, Palestine, Kosovo and Taiwan. A country is landlocked here when it has no coastline on the open sea. The Caspian Sea is counted as a lake, so Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan are landlocked.
- Africa has the most landlocked countries, 16, one more than Europe.
- Liechtenstein and Uzbekistan are doubly landlocked: every neighbour is landlocked too.
- Bolivia and Paraguay are the only two in the Americas.

Note on the data. A country is landlocked when the Factbook's Coastline field gives 0 km. The Caspian Sea is counted as a lake, so Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan are landlocked. Land borders, land boundary lengths, coastlines and highest points are those of the CIA World Factbook in its last (2025) edition, read on 3 October 2026 from the archived copies of the agency's own field pages, parsed by script and checked to be symmetric. A border through a dependency (French Guiana, Gibraltar, Greenland, Ceuta and Melilla) or one that depends on a disputed status (Kosovo, Palestine, Western Sahara, the Golan Heights) is on a doubtful list and is never asked.
