How Good Is Your Geographic? [5]

I think it's a case of "Anyone got a question?"

Bump

O.k., to move this along, I offer the following.

Name all the instances where four countries border one another.

Hint, the typical case is where one country is landlocked and shares its border with three other surrounding countries, each which in turn share a border with two of the other three ( :crazy: ).

Okay, an example to get you going:
Luxemburg, Belgium, Germany and France:
Belgium borders both Germany and France.
Germany borders both Belgium and France.
France borders both Belgium and Germany.

Note, this is not a question of the number of landlocked countries (which are far more numerous).

An example of an incorrect response: the Czech Republic is landlocked and surrounded by Germany, Poland Slovakia and Austria, but:
Slovakia and Germany do not share a border.
Austria and Poland do not share a border.

This instance is found at least once in four continents.

To be honest when I stumbled upon this I found a couple of the responses either obscure or questionable so I’ll be lenient on the answers.

Phew...

:eek:
Too complicated for me.

India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China?

Nope.

I was worried that this would be too tough of a Q. I’d suggest staring at a world map for a couple of hours :p: .

Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina?

Yay, way to go gadjo! That's the one instance in South America (see it wasn't that complicated).

Now, try for the other three continents (more than one in each).

Tanzania, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia

Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan

Belarus, Lithuania, Russia,Poland

Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Russia

Looking at Africa, there's a couple of funnies:

Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe meet at a point. So technically, each borders on three. Does that count?

Rwanda borders 4 countries: Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo (Zaire), Uganda and Tanzania. Tanzania, Burundi and DRC all border the three others and the only two without a common border are Uganda and Burundi
