Why this one is hard

4 neighbours to keep in the right order.

Its 4 land borders are joint 6th-most in Africa — level with Angola, Benin, Mauritania, Nigeria, Rwanda and Zimbabwe. Of the 6 possible pairings among them, 2 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Zambia is the most connected of them, with 7 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Namibia, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.

The capital

Windhoek

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