O.k, I'll give that to you D-Type.Quote:

Rwanda, Uganda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania
According to my source there are three remaining: One more in Asia (not far from gadjo's previous response), and two in Europe.
Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia
Yep. Two more in Europe (sorry I missed one in my previous post). One more in Asia too.
Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia
Yep. One more in Europe that is a bit sneaky, as one of the borders is actually not in Europe :crazy: :uhoh: .Quote:

Asia: Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey
Europe: Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany.
According to Wikipedia “…The only land boundary between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and France is on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, where the Dutch constituent country of Saint Maarten meets the French Overseas Collectivity of Saint Martin.” :uhoh:

Suggest either gadjo or D-Type have the next go.
Ah well, on the same theme, which country has the most countries bordering it, each of which also borders two countries that border the first one.
Hang on, I'm trying to draw a mental picture :p:
Should be either in Central Africa or central/eastern Europe?
I'm guessing Chad or Congo!
I reckon Chad has 6 countries bordering it, it might be 7 depending on the Sudan / South Sudan Border. Congo (Zaire as was) doesn't qualify as it doesn't have a land border with Tanzania. But I have found an 8.
It's difficult when they keep changing the map.
:(
Maybe Serbia? Since Yugo split into 6 it automatically has 5/6 borders :D
I hadn't thought of Serbia. It has 8 countries around it: Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovena and Croatia.
But there's another one in Central or Eastern Europe
I have an 8.
Brazil has 10 neighbours
1. French Guiana
2. Suriname
3. Guyana
4. Venezuela
5. Colombia
6. Peru
7. Bolivia
8. Paraguay
9. Argentina
10. Uruguay
8 of those border two other countries with border Brazil.
Russia borders 12 countries but far fewer of them have neighbours which also neighbour Russia because someone put lakes and seas in the way.
But French Guiana and Uruguay only border one plus Brazil so this doesn't count.
Whoops! I've just realised that my other 8 is invalid. :shock: :mad:
I was thinking of Austria which borders
1. Germany
2. Czech Republic
3. Slovakia
4. Hungary
5. Slovenia
6. Italy
7. Switzerland
8. Liechenstein.
But Liechenstein only has two neighbours: Austria and Switzerland.
So, I reckon Storm wins with Serbia and its 8 neighbours. :champion:
:D
I don't have a question though!
That's the problem isn't it - finding a question that is challenging but not impossible to answer
Those two are on the outside of 10; which means that the answer is the middle eight.Quote:

As Storm can't think of a question, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't post one. Rollo
yeah go ahead rollo, if i think of one i will post that too
Which country in the world has the most national Capital Cities (ie not of states and provinces)?
South Africa?
The UK?
The Kingdom of Denmark?
We have a winner!Quote:

damn it I'm on a roll and I still don't have a question :hmh:
Mind if I throw one in, in the interest of keeping this thread active:
Name all the countries that share a land border with only one other country. Hint: According to wiki, there’s quite a few more than what I could come up with off the top of my head, albeit a couple are questionable and/or obscure :mark: .
Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Monaco, Portugal, Canada, Papua New Guinea, Gambia, Haiti, Dominican Republic, South Korea, and Cuba (if you consider Guantamo Bay to be part of the USA) off the top of my head. There must be more
Good start D-Type. You got several:
Denmark borders only Germany
Monaco borders only France
Portugal borders only Spain
Canada borders only the USA
Papua New Guinea borders only Indonesia
Gambia borders only Senegal
Haiti borders only the Dominican Republic (and vice-versa)
South Korea borders only their friends to the north
According to my wiki source Scotland and Wales are not included as these are considered part of the UK; and the Cuba - Guantamo Bay is not listed in my source.
There are more.
Lesotho
Ireland
San Marino
Vatican
The UK only borders the Republic of Ireland.Quote:

Yes.Quote:

Yes to all except Crimea and Murica (?).Quote:

There is one more that no one has mentioned.
Gibraltar only borders Spain?
The Uruguay border with Argentina is the River Uruguay so its only land border is with Brazil. Or is that too contrived?
MURICA!Quote:

It's the country of Abraham Lincoln... holding the US Constitution... whilst firing dual wielding AR-15s... fighting Space Nazis... on the moon... whilst riding a bear. MURICA.
Are you a Commie?
Gawd, you lot really like to make things difficult :p: .
No, nothing so contrived.
Gibralter is not listed in my source.
Uruguay looks promising but there is actually a tiny island near the mouth of the Uruguay river that shares a land border with Argentina.
The country I’m looking for is in Asia.
How about The Republic Of Singapore mate?
Not on my list. Probably because Singapore does not have a land border (it’s the Johor Strait that separates it from Malaysia).Quote:
