Countries that border the United States
2 land neighbours: Canada and Mexico. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
2 neighbours to keep in the right order.
12 countries in the Americas have more than its 2 land borders; it is the same as Belize, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Panama, Suriname, El Salvador and Uruguay. Its two neighbours do not border each other, so there is no chain to walk — each has to be learned on its own. Mexico is the most connected of them, with 3 land borders of its own. Both of them are on the Americas map with the United States, and on the world map with everyone else.
