huh. well, I'll be.

Mongolia has a nominal navy, which is one of the world's smallest and operates on Lake Khövsgöl, not the ocean. Established in the 1930s and later privatized in 1997, the force consists of about seven personnel and one or two vessels (the Sukhbaatar III), primarily serving tourism and local transportation needs rather than military purposes.

Consider me one of today's lucky 10,000!

    Well if they wait for another zambillion years maybe Mongolia's landmass will shift and then be by the sea, who knows. Better prepared that sorry.

    Bolivia established a River and Lake Force (Fuerza Fluvial y Lacustre) in January 1963 under the Ministry of National Defense. It consisted of four boats supplied from the United States and 1,800 personnel recruited largely from the Bolivian Army.

    Just pointing out that that is 450 people PER. BOAT.

    (I know there's overhead, just being silly)

    Seems like they expanded...

    The Bolivian Navy has a total of 173 vessels with many stationed on Lake Titicaca...

    And so do Czechia. But You no dare to say Czech navy is [redacted. anything bad as Krtek can always assassinate You in most unexpected moment.

    Actually, Czech Navy is pretty impressive, as for country without direct access to any sea/ocean and no lie, can do a thing or two. Unsure if Mongolian is same, but no reason to not believe it is.
