Countries that border Nicaragua

2 land neighbours: Costa Rica and Honduras. Each one has a page of its own.

Why this one is hard

2 neighbours to keep in the right order.

Its 2 land borders are joint 5th-most in the Americas — level with Belize, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Suriname, El Salvador, the United States and Uruguay. None of its neighbours borders another, so there is no chain to walk — every one of them has to be learned on its own. Honduras is the most connected of them, with 3 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Americas board alongside Nicaragua, and on the world board with everyone else in the Americas.

Capital Rush deals Nicaragua and offers four capitals; this is the one that pays. It comes up on the Americas 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 — Nicaragua is the one that owns it.
