Malta borders no country

No land borders at all. The map above shows what is nearest instead — every crossing from here is by sea or by air.

Nothing to link to here — which is the point. Malta is one of the countries a border graph cannot help you with: the map above is the whole hint.

Nowhere to cross

No land borders at all.

Malta touches no other country, so there is no neighbour to reason from — on the World Map Quiz you find it by its own coastline or not at all. That is not as lonely as it sounds: 40 of the 195 countries on the world board are in the same position.

Valletta

Capital Rush deals Malta 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 — Malta is the one that owns it.
