Only two countries are doubly landlocked
To reach the ocean from Uzbekistan or Liechtenstein, you have to cross at least two borders. Here is what that looks like on a map.
A landlocked country has no coastline on the open sea. A doubly landlocked country is surrounded only by other landlocked countries. There are just two: Uzbekistan in Central Asia and Liechtenstein in the Alps.
For Uzbekistan this is more than trivia. Every export that travels by sea first crosses at least two neighbours, which shapes trade routes, transport costs and regional politics.
