	A note on Botswana: The CIA Factbook does not list it as bordering Zambia. From maps, it appears a very short border (less than 200 ft) that is essentially a crossing over the Zambezi River. I've included it to stay consistent with sporcle's "Most Land Borders" quiz: http://www.sporcle.com/games/landborders.php

	This quiz inspired by Otacon's comment on the MUST-DO "Can you name the countries I'm thinking of" quiz. http://www.sporcle.com/games/miyomiyo1050/find_that_country

	Good fun, though it was difficult resisting the temptation to lift my head up and look at my map. The only thing I'd suggest is accepting FYROM, or similar, for macedonia and Burma for Myanmar, as that seems to be the convention elsewhere on the site.

	Great quiz, but as any seasoned Sporcler should know, "Dem Rep Congo" and "Rep Congo" need to be accepted.

	Damn, I and here thought I was seasoned.... I think I fixed them; thanks to you both.

	France borders Brazil and Suriname (French Guiana is an integral part of France). Also, you might want to include the Netherlands or Netherlands Antilles as a bonus for France because of the Saint Martin-Sint Maarten border.

	I guess I'm just slow, but I really needed another minute or two.

	@SPU: I'm not well-versed enough to argue the relative status of non-contiguous country parts. But (see first comment) I tried to stay consistent with Sporcle's Most Land Borders game. This was brought up in their comments, and they opted for the number of borders that you see here. Who am I to argue with the sporcle gods?

	two more minutes

	OK, Julie and mom... here's two more minutes. Thanks for the feedback.

	Have you included the russian exclave of Kalingrad, because i got a bit confused? Like the game though.

	confused:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 22:58 GMT	1 point
	Yes, Kaliningrad is included. Like I said above, I'm not sure of the technical difference between it and French Guyana yet, but both Sporcle and my source treat them differently.

	lambda:	Oct 28th, 2009 at 19:38 GMT	0 points
	SPU is right: French Guyana and Saint-Martin are part of France, so France borders Brazil and the Netherlands Antilles. Just because other Sporcle quizzes got it wrong doesn't mean you should too (as for the CIA, it lists e.g. Guam but not Hawaii separately; I expect it's trying to make a political point). Think of French Guyana in France and Kaliningrad in Russia as you would think of Alaska and Hawaii in the US.

	i like this quiz it realy helps with the world countries quiz its a good idea to

	confused:	Dec 19th, 2009 at 18:08 GMT	1 point
	@adam: thanks. @lambda and spu: I'd decided you were right, but opted for consistency anyway. But sporcle just published a borders quiz that appears they've changed their mind, so it's changed. Besides, I now feel that gods that publish a quiz that asks for borders of the US, Canada and Australia over France, Serbia and the DRC are probably fallible ;-)

	Lambda-- Hawaii is one of the 50 states. How is it "political" not to list it separately? It isn't separate.

	NYCub:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 16:56 GMT	3 points
	I like how there's not a great degree of overlap on this quiz. On some of them, the countries have so many bordering countries in common that by the time you get to the last ones, they've already been filled in.
