What's the difference between a mile on land, then a nautical mile at sea?
963586
A nautical mile, whether on land or at sea, is set equal to a minute of latitude (there are 60 minutes in a degree). It is used at sea because it makes it easier to measure changes in latitude. It is roughly equal to 1.152 miles.

I'd say a "country mile" is "longer" - both expressions are meant to be exaggerations. See the link below about "New York minute," which is supposed to exaggerate how quickly something happens, whereas "country mile" means "a long way."

on shore.. on the land, off shore on the water.\nbut then off sore as inshore and offshore.\ninshore is generally described as within a few miles of the coastline of the country.\nOffshore is described as deep water.. \n\nSo.. just remember off shore you need waders to drill for oil.

one does not exist IN the other, both are dimensions that we travel though, we are always moving though space and time. an analogy on the earth would be asking if the lines of latitude exsist in the grid of longitude or if latitude is the grid and longitude fits inside, there is no answer to that question, but we have no problem moving though latitude and longitude.
