Landlocked
From Wikinfo
A landlocked country is one that has no coastline. This has historically been regarded as a notably disadvantageous position, as it renders the resources inherent in the sea (such as fishing and transportation) inaccessible; thus one notices that, in many cases, countries make a particular effort to avoid being landlocked, and those that remain landlocked tend to be left behind.
