Why this one is hard
14 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 14 land borders are joint most in Asia — level with Russia. Of the 91 possible pairings among them, 13 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. All of them deal on the Asia board alongside China, and on the world board with everyone else in Asia.
