Why this one is hard
4 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 4 land borders are joint 6th-most in Asia — level with Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Thailand, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Of the 6 possible pairings among them, 3 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Jordan and Syria are joint most connected of them, with 5 land borders each. All of them deal on the Asia board alongside Israel, and on the world board with everyone else in Asia.
