Answer: These are the five largest landlocked countries on earth.

[msc545]

WHat are they or WHERE are they?

[msc545]

OK - They are all LANDLOCKED and thus have no access to the ocean.

[RedInnocent68]

Might have a winner! Could it be borders without ocean?

[msc545]

@RedInnocent68 Technically yes, I guess.

[msc545]

Thanks for MHO!

[andreasderjuengere]

Landlocked?

[OlderAndWiser]

Are you asking what they have in common?

[AviatorTom]

Yes, and they are actually listed in order

[Astarlessnightsky]

No idea...

First thought was, former British colonies, but not sure about this.

Next thought was Deserts, but at least Mali doesn't fit.

They aren't on the same continent, so neighbouring China doesn't fit all of them.

Same size, ... mabye... but i am certain Mongolai is huge while Mali is super small...

Maybe its something like the final contestants for the next olympic games.

Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 j believe is in the Middle East, Mongolia 🇲🇳 is just north or China in Asia, Chad 🇹🇩 is the best named country ever and it’s in central Africa. Niger 🇳🇪 is dangerous country to spell and is is also in Africa. I don’t know where Mali 🇲🇱 is tho 🤔

[SPIRIT208]

I’m at a loss

[Amy10223]

What do you mean, what are these countries? The first is in Asia, and the rest are in Africa. ?

[DryGermanGuy]

The only idea I have is that they all might be used for economical/political influence from China, Russia or both.

[Emyyyy]

Black countries lmaooo

Probably in the continent of Africa

[Cubus]

Kazachstan and Mongolia are not black

[RedInnocent68]

Hmmm, two in Asia, three in Africa, I expect they all have deserts, beats me!

[Aiko_E_Lara]

That they're countries.

[AviatorTom]

That's true, they are countries, but what do they have in common?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

The fact that they are countries

[exitseven]

Are they all third world hell holes?

[AnusNdaPainus]

They’re all racial slurs
