world's two doubly-landlocked countries...

and what exactly does that mean?

[Warluster]

That would be Europe and Asia, or Africa and Asia, or Africa and Europe, or Sotuh America and North AMerica

[MilesGregarius]

Miles, why is Korea the answer to your question, or was it just a double question?

Two part question. Sorry for the confusion.

I still don't understand how one can be in Connaught AND Korea at the same time.

Family ties to both.

Same question

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Lichtenstein and Turkmenistan?

[ajaxfetish]

I'll agree with Liechtenstein, but take Uzbekistan over Turkmenistan.

...and La Paz is the administrative capital

Someone had better tell the CIA, they think it's La Paz as well

No, what I meant was, if Bolivia, like the Netherlands has 2 capitals, Sucre and La Paz, how come La Paz is wrong? lol

[Conradus]

You'll have to blame my teacher for that
Once he asked me the same question and I answered La Paz, just wanted to do the same thing here.

What do you mean by landlocked? No way to the sea? There are many countries then eg Liechtenstein, San Marino, Cita del Vaticano, Bolivia, Paraguay,...

[Don Corleone]

Ajax got it. Double landlocked means not only is the country landlocked, all it's neighbors are too. You'd have to go through 2 countries to get to the ocean/sea.

[Conradus]

Ah I see, nice question

[Sarmatian]

Ajax got it. Double landlocked means not only is the country landlocked, all it's neighbors are too. You'd have to go through 2 countries to get to the ocean/sea.

I've got it, but it was to late. Really interesting question...

[ajaxfetish]

Well, if it's my turn, I'll do another one about countries and their neighbors.

What country shares the most land borders with others, and how many neighbors does it have?

Ajax

[Conradus]

China and Russia have 14 neighbours

[ajaxfetish]

Very nice Conradus. It's all yours.

What's the world smallest island state and the only one without an official capital?

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Sealand?

[Conradus]

No, try the Pacific

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Micronesia.

[Cangrande]

What's the world smallest island state and the only one without an official capital?

It can have La Paz seeing as Bolivia's not using it

[Conradus]

Unfortunately Micronesia isn't as small as the name suggests, try another.

Lol @ Cangrande

[MilesGregarius]

Palau?

[Motep]

Tivalu?

[Conradus]

Noone has guessed it yet, but there aren't that many island states left

[Motep]

Pitcairn Islands?

[Conradus]

Are they independent?
No it's not them either.

[Motep]

Are they independent?
No it's not them either.

oh...no...it appears they are not...I could have sworn...


hmm....Niue?

[Conradus]

Two of those letters are correct, though not exactly on the rigth place

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Vanuatu?

[MilesGregarius]

Nauru?

[Conradus]

Finally MilesGregarius gives the rigth answer, your turn.
