Countries that border Suriname

2 land neighbours: Brazil and Guyana. 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, Nicaragua, Panama, El Salvador, the United States and Uruguay. Of the 1 possible pairings among them, 1 is itself a border, which is what turns a list into a knot. Brazil is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Americas board alongside Suriname, and on the world board with everyone else in the Americas.
