Landlocked countries are those countries which do not have a single sea around them. On the other hand, double landlocked countries are those countries which are surrounded by landlocked countries on all four sides, the interesting thing is that there are only 2 such countries in the world, one in Europe and one in Asia. However, there is a huge difference in the size of these two countries.
The largest double landlocked country in the world is Uzbekistan, which is surrounded by countries whose borders do not meet any sea. The capital of this Asian country is Tashkent.
Uzbekistan is surrounded by a total of 5 landlocked countries whose names are Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.
Uzbekistan came into existence in 1991 when the Soviet Union disintegrated. Its area is 447,400 square kilometers and the population is approximately 37,139,008. It is officially a secular country, although about 96.7% of the people here are Sunni Muslims.
The second double landlocked country in the world is Liechtenstein. The area of this European country is just 160 square kilometers, which is hardly visible on the world map. Its capital is Vaduz.
Liechtenstein is a European country surrounded by 2 landlocked countries, their names are Switzerland and Austria. 79.4 people of this country are Christians. German is the official language here.
