Countries that border Sudan
7 land neighbours: the Central African Republic, Chad, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Libya and South Sudan. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
7 neighbours to keep in the right order.
2 countries in Africa have more than its 7 land borders; it is the same as Mali, Niger and Zambia. Of the 21 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. The Central African Republic, Chad, Ethiopia, Libya and South Sudan are joint most connected of them, with 6 land borders each. All of them are on the Africa map with Sudan, and on the world map with everyone else.

Where Sudan costs people points
