Out at Sea
If a workforce of engineers have been tasked with creating the perfect hypothetical atmosphere for testing superior manufacturing’s potential, they could give you one thing that appears loads like Australia.
Everyone seems to be aware of the time period “landlocked”, however territories can be “sealocked”. Nonetheless, the latter time period isn’t practically as well-defined as the previous, because the options that make a nation sealocked or not aren’t fairly so black-and-white. That’s, whereas each island nation is sealocked to a point, it wouldn’t actually make sense to make use of the time period to explain, say, the UK, which is somewhat simply accessible for the remainder of the worldwide financial system.
Certainly, the extent to which an island nation’s existence as an island makes it inaccessible to the worldwide financial system is actually what determines whether or not or not it’s sealocked. Alongside these strains, the time period could also be most relevant to nations in Oceania, the remotest area of Earth that also maintains routine interchange with the remainder of the worldwide financial order.
Curiously sufficient…
