Which country is surrounded by seas whose initial letters almost spell the name of the country?

I think you're shooting for Italy, which is surrounded by the: --Ligurian Sea --Ionian Sea --Adriatic Sea --Tyrrhenian Sea but, unfortunately for this question, brushes on the Mediterranean instead of some sea that starts with Y. Jul 07 09, 7:59 AM

Yay Avran! So you got the boot, but have to be brought to heel on one point... Actually, Italy doesn't just brush the Mediterranean. The four seas that, with the straits that connect them, surround the coast of Italy are all part of the Med. In fact your link points out that the Tyrrhenian is part of the Mediterranean. Except for the fact that I probably should have said "the coast of which country" the question stands. Jul 07 09, 1:10 PM

Fascinating. I assumed a clean division, like land areas are theoretically supposed to have. So I learned something! Good question. Jul 08 09, 5:40 PM
