well, not always. for about 35 years, sure.

Damn, its been a while since I've seen one of these comics!! Takes me back to deviantart days
Chile would like a word
Tbf, Chile basically IS just a coastline plus a few extra bits thrown in for scale 🤷
Coastline and mountains. What else could you want?
Speaking as someone from a tiny country with tons of coast line and a lot of mountain envy....good point 😁
Croatia definitely blocks it better. Argentina still has lots of access to the Atlantic, and blocking Bolivia is a team effort between Chile and Peru.
Yet Croatia's geography is basically a "Fuck you in particular," practically going out of the way just to block Bosnia & Herzegovina. Chile doesn't try anywhere near that hard.
Chile mentioned!

Didn't Bosnia do a genocide not too long ago?
Permanent loss of beach privileges seems like a reasonable punishment; if anything, it's too light.
I'm no geologist, but afair Serbia was the main genocider in the Yugoslav Wars and Bosnia was the main punching bag.
That's a gross oversimplification based on a combination of my own faulty memory and skimming the above Wikipedia article, of course, but DEFINITELY more fair than "it was all Bosnia's fault and they deserve to be cut off from the sea forever as punishment" 😄
My bad; I know nothing of the Bosnian Genocide beyond the name. It was a shitty joke anyway.
No worries, none of us get em all right and far too few of us have the integrity to admit when we're wrong on the internet 🤜
And in the North Slovenia's little coastline is packed tightly between Italy and Croatia.
