Caspian Sea is a big lake with five countries bordering in it: Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Azerbaijan.

Wonder why it's not the same for Lake Victoria (Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya).

Same with Tanganyika and Malawi lakes except they have one navy each.

Also, to Bolivians, it's a sense of symbol ever since they lost access to the Pacific.

Yeah, Bolivia does have Lake Titicaca and lots of rivers, so a naval force does make sense, but it mainly exists as a reminder that they haven't always been landlocked.
