landlocked nation
Country without coastline
A landlocked nation is a country entirely surrounded by land, with no coastline or direct access to the sea.
Such countries depend on neighbors for maritime trade routes: Bolivia lost its Pacific coastline to Chile and remains a landlocked nation.
Examples include Switzerland, Mongolia, and Ethiopia.
