Liechtenstein borders Austria but is too small for the Europe board to draw as a tap target, so it is not on the map above — it still deals in the capitals and flags games.
Why this one is hard
8 neighbours, and 8 pairs of them border each other too.
Its 8 land borders are joint 3rd-most in Europe — level with France, Serbia and Turkey. Of the 28 possible pairings among them, 8 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Germany is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Europe board alongside Austria, and on the world board with everyone else in Europe.

The capital
Vienna
Capital Rush deals Austria and offers four capitals; this is the one that pays. It comes up on the Europe board and on the world board, which is twice as many chances to get it wrong.
The flag
Flag Blitz flies it and offers four countries — Austria is the one that owns it.

Australia is in Oceania, and its capital is Canberra — not Vienna. It has no land borders at all, where Austria has 8.
Slovakia and Slovenia
Both border Austria, and a player who knows the shape can still put one where the other goes. Slovakia's capital is Bratislava; Slovenia's is Ljubljana.
