Which country has the worst geographical disadvantage?

 The Siliguri Corridor or Chicken’s Neck (India)

The Siliguri Corridor is the only way in and out of North Eastern India, by land. It is 100 Km long and the width comes down to 17 Km at one point.Forget war, any major natural disaster in that region could cut off entire North East from the rest of India. The Siliguri corridor is the sweetest spot for illegal immigration, smuggling and human trafficking.

It is true that India now has strong relations with Nepal and Bangladesh, but no one knows what might happen in next 100 years.

Which country has the worst geographical disadvantage?

 1.Brunei

It is not only tiny, but also lacks a strategic position. While it has a large reserve of natural resources, it is also surrounded by one large nation that splits its territory in two, and its small size makes it lack any strategic depth.

2.Lesotho

One of the few nations on Earth not only completely surrounded by another but also landlocked, depriving her of any trade except the one her neighbor permits her to have.

3.The European ministates

Andorra, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican City are usually called this, and are the six smallest states in Europe, and some of the world’s smallest by area. Many are completely surrounded by other countries and landlocked, and most are on flat ground.
