Not a city, not a historic building, not a geo feature, not a park, not a military base. What the heck are we looking for?

A business?

...oh, thanks...that really narrows it down for us.

...let's see. How many topics are there in the world? lol

...or is that "topical" like Ben-Gay or Coppertone?

...or are you saying it's an alcoholic topic as in "Sideways"?

Have i tilted this game with too many questions? Too bad i'm not the Magnificent Carnac

Alright. Hats off to phil for hosting the round, me for thinking outside the box in terms of questioning, even when they were wrong half the time, and Shell, Tully, Nick for building upon the "counties" clue, which helped immensely.

The past is the past, and as it where I make my domain, thank you MJ for revolutionizing the world through your hit music.


I'll be be back at 1700 hours, NYST (time in New York) to resume the contest, and allow inquiries as to where I am on this me, mine planet of ours.

This time, we're playing "Escape from the Neverland Ranch".

Sorry, I'm abit late; I was off somewhere else with a levy. That's the sort of Ramblin' man I am.

Besides that allegory, you are all cleared for take off. Where am I going?

Are you not in a country or not in a landlocked country or both? My tiny brain's going on overload.

It depends on how you look at it. On the one hand, each and every landmass in the world is allocated to a particular country for geographic's and cartographer's sake. Even undiscovered trenches, islands, forests, what have you are attributed to the nearest governing country of residence, whether within the borders or out, but in boundaries of reigning waters and airspace.

You are not looking for a country in particular, I'll say that much, but if you happen to ask if I'm in "so-and-so" country and it happens to be true, I will tell you so as well.

I am not in a landlocked country.
