Locked n' Lonely
Historically relevant though tends to be more relevant in APWH, somehow...
Mongolia
Not the God of the Sea getting a shoutout...
Barbados
This Caribbean island is the only country in the world named after a woman, taking its name from a Christian saint whose feast day falls in December.
St. Lucia
This European river passes through more national capitals than any other river in the world.
Danube
This capital's flags, though notable, has unappealing colors of nasal secretions with its name reflecting where it content belong.
Tashkent
Gross National Happiness is an actual government metric here.
It's giving "crusades" but who knows...
Georgia
Its name comes from the Latin for “green cape,” though the country itself is an archipelago.
Cabo Verde
Known locally as “The Smoke That Thunders,” this waterfall is formed where the Zambezi River plunges into a narrow gorge between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Victoria Falls
Its opening syllables sound like something you might find hanging from a eucalyptus tree; the rest of the name is far less cuddly.
Kuala Lumpur
The names almost gives it away, concerned about anything BUT water...
Hungary
Just to ensure you don't miss it on the map, we made ourselves quite clear.
Cyprus
For centuries, this Indian Ocean sultanate was an important stop along trade routes linking East Africa, Arabia, India, and Southeast Asia.
Maldives
This Siberian lake holds more freshwater than all the Great Lakes combined and plunges deeper than any other lake on Earth.
Lake Baikal
More likely an auto-filled password that is surely impossible to remember.
Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte
I wonder if they sit in their capitol city and... well... think about how thirsty they are for that coastal life.
Eswatini
"Break a leg!", there'd be a couple left
Isle of Man
Named in Portuguese, this island nation pairs Saint Thomas, the apostle who demanded proof of Christ’s resurrection, with a title once given to a Portuguese crown heir.
Sao Tome and Principe
Home to Torres del Paine, Perito Moreno Glacier, and some of the world's most dramatic trekking landscapes, this region occupies the southern tip of the Americas.
Patagonia
Sounds like tequila's evil twin: instead of asking what you want to drink, it tells you exactly what you're about to do.
Tegucigalpa
What flows up, wont come down. I am not too surprised they take their river access seriously when nowhere near the ocean.
Ethiopia
The symbol on this flag was possibly drawn by a three-year-old.
Lebanon
Split by an “and”, this country is named after a nickname for "Chris" and a mountain whose name means “Our Lady of the Snow.”
St. Kitts and Nevis
This mountain range has peaks in eight countries, but its name likely comes from a Latin word associated with high, snow-covered mountains.
The Alps
This sounds like the kind of Silksong location where you hear an eerie “oo-ah” echo through the tunnels and immediately start looking for the nearest bench.
Ouagadougou
