Mongolia has a nominal navy, which is one of the world's smallest and operates on Lake Khövsgöl, not the ocean. Established in the 1930s and later privatized in 1997, the force consists of about seven personnel and one or two vessels (the Sukhbaatar III), primarily serving tourism and local transportation needs rather than military purposes.
Lucky 10,000 is when "everyone knows it". This is unknown enough of a fact that you're more like one of today's lucky 10 I'd wager. You can feel much more special!
Lol we know damn well if they ever rise as an empire again, the 7 person navy is gonna become a behemoth of naval power the moment they reach the ocean.
Bolivia established a River and Lake Force (Fuerza Fluvial y Lacustre) in January 1963 under the Ministry of National Defense. It consisted of four boats supplied from the United States and 1,800 personnel recruited largely from the Bolivian Army.
Just pointing out that that is 450 people PER. BOAT.
And so do Czechia. But You no dare to say Czech navy is [redacted. anything bad as Krtek can always assassinate You in most unexpected moment.
Actually, Czech Navy is pretty impressive, as for country without direct access to any sea/ocean and no lie, can do a thing or two. Unsure if Mongolian is same, but no reason to not believe it is.

But imagine how good it looks in your resume to add "served as second in command in the Mongolian navy for 10 years"

Well if they wait for another zambillion years maybe Mongolia's landmass will shift and then be by the sea, who knows. Better prepared that sorry.

I will never ever ever be able to read that lake's name with a straight face.

Yeah, I didn't even need to include that part about the lake, but 8 year old me insisted it was necessary information for the reader.

And eight year old you was right. :D
