Countries that border Latvia
4 land neighbours: Belarus, Estonia, Lithuania and Russia. 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 7th-most in Europe — level with Albania, Armenia, Belgium, Czechia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania and Slovenia. Of the 6 possible pairings among them, 4 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 Europe board alongside Latvia, and on the world board with everyone else in Europe.

The capital
Riga
Capital Rush deals Latvia and offers four capitals; this is the one that pays. It comes up on the Europe 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 — Latvia is the one that owns it.
