Countries that border Uzbekistan
5 land neighbours: Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
5 neighbours, and 5 pairs of them border each other too.
Its 5 land borders are joint 5th-most in Asia — level with Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Jordan, Laos, Myanmar and Syria. Of the 10 possible pairings among them, 5 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Afghanistan is the most connected of them, with 6 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Asia board alongside Uzbekistan, and on the world board with everyone else in Asia.

The capital
Tashkent
Capital Rush deals Uzbekistan and offers four capitals; this is the one that pays. It comes up on the Asia board and on the world board, which is twice as many chances to get it wrong.
