Why this one is hard

5 neighbours to keep in the right order.

Its 5 land borders are joint 6th-most in Europe — level with Azerbaijan, Belarus, Switzerland, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania and Slovakia. Of the 10 possible pairings among them, 4 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Serbia and Turkey are joint most connected of them, with 8 land borders each. All of them deal on the Europe board alongside Bulgaria, and on the world board with everyone else in Europe.

The capital

Sofia

Capital Rush deals Bulgaria 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 — Bulgaria is the one that owns it.
