Countries that border Uruguay

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, Suriname, El Salvador and the United States. 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 Uruguay, and on the world board with everyone else in the Americas.
