Nice quiz. The more I think about it (and this applies to all landlocked-country quizzes) the more silly it seems to class Azerbaijan as "landlocked" when it fronts a body of water that's (a) salty, (b) called a sea, and (c) is 200 miles from the far shore! (Anything over about 20 miles you cannot see the far shore from). Land. Locked? Really?
But you can say its not connected to oceans. Maybe "oceanshoreless" is what is actuallt meant. I guess otherwise its hard to draw a line, what about Uganda and Bolivia for example?
If you have a boat in a country that is not landlocked, you can sail said boat to any other non-landlocked country. Azerbaijan can't do that, and so is restricted from international maritime trade. Thus, it's landlocked.
The Caspian "Sea" is in reality a lake, if that was the case with every country, no landlocked countries would exist with the exception of the tiny ones like Liechtenstein, The Vatican, San marino, Andorra and Luxembourg.
With the difference being that most countries' territory goes over the lake that it is next to. The territory of the countries around the Caspian stops right at the edge of the lake
Please add an option to show dots for "micronations." I was able to guess the smaller countries, but it was far from obvious given their near invisibility on this map. Great quiz!
Good quiz, I like the pictures made by these groups of countries, the South American landlocked looks like a baby's leg and nappy, North Africa looks like a falling woman, Europe reminds me of a woman cooking etc.
Didn't like a Scambigol quiz on the user spotlight. Top users like him don't need an opportunity to grow, they're already pretty famous. In my opinion, user spotlight should be about unknown, but good JetPunk creaters, with few (or none) featured quiz!
Couldn't disagree more. The spotlight feature is there to spotlight quizzes not users. Despite a large number of takes on their account, many of their quality SVG quizzes or just ideas that took a long time to make get very little takes. Also, remember that users themselves spotlight quizzes, and a strict set of rules on what to spotlight would "restrict users" in Stewart's own words.
The World Is now called Locker land Planet. It's Because landlocked countries are now islands and free oceanic. And the capital of it is Uzbekistan, which Uzbekistan is still landlocked (cry about it). There are new islands. Including Mediterranean, Luxembourg, American, Lao, Himalayan, Stanian, Mongolian, Armenijan, Austrigary, Moldovan, British African, and Ethiopian-French African Island. Oceans are now American Ocean, Himalayan Ocean, Caspian Ocean, European Ocean, and the biggest of it is Eastern Ocean.
