Why this one is hard
4 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 4 land borders are joint 6th-most in Asia — level with Armenia, Georgia, Israel, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Thailand and Tajikistan. Of the 6 possible pairings among them, 3 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Iran is the most connected of them, with 7 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Asia board alongside Turkmenistan, and on the world board with everyone else in Asia.
