# Inland Parts of the Country
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
|
|
The interior regions of a country that are distant from sea-coasts and navigable rivers, having limited market access compared to coastal areas. These regions develop industry and division of labour later than coastal areas due to restricted market extent and higher transportation costs.

## Context
|
|
|
|
Smith contrasts inland regions with coastal areas, explaining why industry and improvements in art are "much later in extending themselves into the inland parts of the country." He attributes this to the limited market size and higher transportation costs that restrict the division of labour in these areas.
