standing ovation
recreational geographics have arrived
my only question is about your approx 200 unlandlocked countries
as i had thought there were only about 192 independent countries in the world
& subtracting your 39 single landlocked countries & 2 double landlocked
countries from this total leaves about 151
so where are the extra 49 or so
