Correct sentence?

GPYcountries who are landlocked" is wrong.
Again, I missed a critical detail. Thanks for correcting it.

Philip Thanks for correcting it.
No worries, but actually I hadn't read your reply when I wrote mine, otherwise I would have phrased it slightly differently.

Thank you both for your help! I think 'applicable' suits the context better.
