Explanation
Kazakhstan is the largest landlocked country in the world, spanning approximately 2,724,900 km2. It is situated in Central Asia and partly in Eastern Europe. A landlocked country is defined as one that does not have territory connected to an ocean. While Kazakhstan borders the Caspian Sea, it is considered landlocked because the Caspian is an endorheic basin with no natural outlet to the world's oceans.
- Mongolia is the second-largest landlocked country, covering about 1,564,116 km2.
- Bolivia is the largest landlocked country in South America (~1.1 million km2).
- Afghanistan is smaller than the others listed, covering approximately 652,230 km2.
