Iran borders Azerbaijan too, but is drawn on the Asia board rather than this one — the border is real, it just spans two maps.
Why this one is hard
5 neighbours, and 6 pairs of them border each other too.
Its 5 land borders are joint 6th-most in Europe — level with Bulgaria, Belarus, Switzerland, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania and Slovakia. Of the 10 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Russia is the most connected of them, with 14 land borders of its own. 4 of them deal on the Europe board alongside Azerbaijan — Iran is dealt on the Asia board instead. The world board is the one where all 5 meet.

The capital
Baku
Capital Rush deals Azerbaijan 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.

Flag Blitz flies it and offers four countries — Azerbaijan is the one that owns it.
