landlocked country
No ocean access
A landlocked country is a nation entirely surrounded by land, with no coastline or direct access to the ocean.
Such countries depend on neighbors for maritime trade routes: Bolivia lost its coastline to Chile and remains landlocked.
Examples include Switzerland, Mongolia, and Nepal.
