Can you name the landlocked countries that are nearest to the sea?

created by dancastro

Enter a country in the box below
Correctly named countries will show up below
Click any empty Distance to sea or Country to answer for that location
A country is landlocked, or it isn't; like in pregnancy, there's no middle point. But even being landlocked, most people prefer to be at 6 miles from the beach and not at 985 miles like Kyrgyzstan!

	Tough, tough quiz...I needed more time...but great idea. I cant believe San Marino is that close to the water...I tried it for every other "Europe" position but first!!

	Good quiz! I'm not sure about whether or not we should have to answer in order. Being given the continent makes it easier so I suppose the answering in order evens it out to a good difficulty level. Nice colour scheme by the way. :)

	A large majority of the answers are being guessed by a majority of test takers, so I think that's a sign the time limit is good.

	Please accept "Vatican City" for Vatican City in addition to just "Vatican".

	@zifyoip: I've edited that, but it's useless. If the game is assembled as to accept both "Vatican City" and "Vatican", you won't never be able to enter "Vatican City", because when you type "Vatican" the answer is already entered as valid and you have a "City" left in the box. Of course, a solution is to accept only Vatican City. But then someone will ask "Why don't you accept just Vatican?" Isn't there a saying in English that goes "It's six from one and half a dozen from the other"?

	Thing is, if you type fast enough, sometimes you can be well on the second word without it having time to recognize it from just the first word.

	Great quiz. When I ran out of obvious answers, I made the horrible mistake of trying Bosnia and Herzegovina for all of the remaining Europe slots. That wasted a lot of time for no good purpose.
