Countries that border Ethiopia
6 land neighbours: Djibouti, Eritrea, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
6 neighbours, and 6 pairs of them border each other too.
Its 6 land borders are joint 4th-most in Africa — level with Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, Cameroon, Guinea, Libya, Mozambique, South Sudan, Chad and South Africa. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Sudan is the most connected of them, with 7 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Ethiopia, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.

The capital
Addis Ababa
Capital Rush deals Ethiopia and offers four capitals; this is the one that pays. It comes up on the Africa 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 — Ethiopia is the one that owns it.

Where Ethiopia costs people points
South Sudan and Sudan
