Sri Lanka 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. Sri Lanka 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.
Sri Lanka touches no other country, so there is no neighbour to reason from — on the Asia 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.

The capital
Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte

The flag
Flag Blitz flies it and offers four countries — Sri Lanka is the one that owns it.
