   I felt stupid last night. When you said that the US did not qualify,   
   I though "but what about Point Roberts", but then I realised that it   
   not qualify. What I failed to do was to take the hint. Of course, Canada   
   qualifies.   
      
   The country I have in mind is Poland. The borders against Germany and   
   Russia both runs through lagoons, and Poland has territory on both   
   sides on the lagoons. The western lagoon forms the estuary of the Oder   
   river, which could disqualify Poland. But according to Wikipedia, the   
   water is brackish.   
      
   I should add that I made my original entry from memory only without   
   checking any sources.
