Countries that border Kyrgyzstan
4 land neighbours: China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
4 neighbours, and 4 pairs of them border each other too.
Its 4 land borders are joint 6th-most in Asia — level with Armenia, Georgia, Israel, Pakistan, Thailand, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Of the 6 possible pairings among them, 4 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. China is the most connected of them, with 14 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Asia board alongside Kyrgyzstan, and on the world board with everyone else in Asia.

The capital
Bishkek
Capital Rush deals Kyrgyzstan and offers four capitals; this is the one that pays. It comes up on the Asia board and on the world board, which is twice as many chances to get it wrong.

Flag Blitz flies it and offers four countries — Kyrgyzstan is the one that owns it.
