	I'd like to thank They Might Be Giants' "Alphabet of Nations" for really saving my hide on this one.

	IMHO, Poland is the toughest answer--those Baltic states along with the rest of the breakup of the USSR mess with my mind.

	@daHOOK: DRC has to be distinguished from the Republic of Congo.

	Qatar only just scraped in to first place on this one.

	I agree: homophones are the wurst.

	I got China with 30 seconds to go, and was feeling good that I didn't miss an obvious one...and then I missed France. smacks forehead

	Scout_Number_4 - Yeah, same for me. I can usually get Poland and the Czech Republic just because I know they border Germany, but Eastern Europe trips me up every time.

	Only three J countries, two of them have no borders with other countries.........Interesting how low on the list Jordan is.

	When my island nation declares its independence, we're definitely choosing a name that starts with an X, just to be an answer in every sporcle quiz.

	Uhlan:	Oct 26th, 2010 at 19:07 GMT		7 points
	Wisconsin or Wyoming should declare independence for the same reason.

	the_luggage:	Oct 27th, 2010 at 00:57 GMT		15 points
	You know you've been sporcling too much when the only countries you miss are large Western European ones!

	Miana90:	Oct 27th, 2010 at 01:27 GMT		2 points
	#%&@ you China! I hate you so much right now.. that and Austria..

	DRB:	Oct 27th, 2010 at 12:45 GMT		1 point
	I know it's always the case with sporcle border quizzes, but you should probably specify land borders. Yemen, for example, has five borders (Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, Oman and Saudi Arabia), but only the latter two are land borders.

	First thoughts for J: Japan, Jamaica, Djbouti.

	the luggage- I know, I can think of every small country no one but sporclers has ever heard of, then I forget Germany, D'oh!

	bowsntoys:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 23:03 GMT		0 points
	Could someone tell me the 10 countries that France borders? I only see 8 on my map: Andorra, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxemburg, Monaco, Spain, Switzerland. Otherwise, great game.

	anarresti:	Apr 14th, 2011 at 09:21 GMT		4 points
	@ bowsntoys - the French department of Guyane (French Guiana) borders Brazil and Suriname. It is administered as an integral part of France (same relation as Hawaii to the USA), rather than as a territory. Most Sporcle quizzes count it as part of France

	Tinno:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 18:19 GMT		5 points
	Nice quiz! There's a mistake, though. Serbia borders Hungary,Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, for a total of 8 countries, one more than Sudan. Cheers!

	Tinno:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 18:24 GMT		2 points
	Or Kosovo, rather than Albania, I guess. :)

	mryouronfiremr:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 06:14 GMT		4 points
	Actually, Sudan used to border with 9 countries (Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, DRC, CAR, Chad and Libya) before July 9th, which made it the undisputable winner of the S. But after South Sudan's independence, Sudan is now bordered by 7 (Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Chad and Libya) while South Sudan borders 6 (Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, DRC, CAR and Sudan). Perhaps the quiz was updated to reflect Sudan's new number of borders, but well, that now means that, as Tinno indicated... ladies and gentlemen, we have a new S winner: Serbia!

	jbl123211:	Sep 11th, 2011 at 18:59 GMT		1 point
	Since it is sporcle standards to include Kosovo as a country, Serbia would be the answer for S. If Kosovo isn't included, Serbia would still be #1, because then Serbia would border Albania with Kosovo. :)

	"A country beginning with J that has 5 bordering countries? Can't be Jordan because that has only 4. Seconds ticking...Japan, no, Jamaica, no...run out of time. Oh, so it was Jordan!" Are you counting Palestine as a country then? :)

	ArtFever:	Oct 28th, 2011 at 19:09 GMT		2 points
	Its more likely that they miscounted - seeing as water borders do not count, and that the underwater quadrapoint between Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia may not actually exist.

	jackinky:	Nov 18th, 2011 at 15:31 GMT		0 points
	I wish they would except Drc for Democratic republic of Congo ran out of time typing it in

	abraves10001:	Nov 25th, 2011 at 21:31 GMT		1 point
	For V I could only think of Vatican City and Vanuatu (1 and zero borders). There are only 2 other countries and they both would have worked. Too much sporkling
