Why this one is hard
9 neighbours, and 11 pairs of them border each other too.
Its 9 land borders are most in Africa. Of the 36 possible pairings among them, 11 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Tanzania is the most connected of them, with 8 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside DR Congo, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.

Where DR Congo costs people points
Republic of the Congo
Republic of the Congo borders DR Congo, which is exactly why the names get swapped: same board, adjacent shapes. Its capital is Brazzaville, not Kinshasa.
Rwanda and Uganda
Both border DR Congo, and a player who knows the shape can still put one where the other goes. Rwanda's capital is Kigali; Uganda's is Kampala.
