Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these large countries has the biggest number of neighbors?

Answer: China

 China shares borders with 14(!) countries, just as many as Russia and more than any other country in the world at the same time. Brazil borders 'only' nine other countries, which is still plenty, compared to the USA (two neighbors) and Canada, which shares a land border only with the USA.

China borders: Afghanistan, Bhutan, Burma, India, Kazakhstan, North Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Vietnam.
2. Which of these European countries borders more countries than any other, within Europe?

Answer: Germany

 Germany has nine neighbors (Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland and Denmark). This is slightly more than France (eight), Poland (seven) and Italy (six).
3. We're traveling to Asia now. Which of these south Asian countries prides itself on the biggest neighbor count?

Answer: India

 India has six land neighbors: Pakistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma and Bangladesh (or seven if one counts the territory of Kashmir, disputed between India and Pakistan, which also borders Afghanistan). Burma borders five countries, Pakistan four and Indonesia three.
4. Which of these landlocked African countries has the most neighbors?

Answer: Zambia

 Zambia has - believe it or not - eight neighbors: Angola, Zaire (Democratic Republic of Congo), Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana (though only on a 2 km stretch!) and Namibia. Niger borders seven countries, Chad six and Lesotho only one, being enclaved in South Africa.
5. We're skipping over the Atlantic Ocean to the South American continent. Which South American country has the biggest number of neighbors?

Answer: Brazil

 Of course it's Brazil! It borders nine independent countries, all on the continent apart from Chile and Ecuador. The border countries include Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela. It also borders French Guiana, a French department.
6. We're staying in South America. Tell me now which of the countries with Caribbean Sea coastline has the most neighbors?

Answer: Colombia

 This one shouldn't have been too difficult, either, because Colombia borders five nations. They are Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and Panama.
7. All of these European countries are tiny, but which one of them actually has three neighbors?

Answer: Luxembourg

 Luxembourg borders Belgium, Germany and France. Liechtenstein is squeezed between Austria and Switzerland. San Marino is an enclave surrounded by Italy. Monaco only borders France, although it isn't entirely landlocked, with a few kilometers of the Mediterranean Sea coastline.
8. Which Asian island country has the biggest number of neighbors? Remember, only land borders count!

Answer: Indonesia

 Indonesia borders Papua New Guinea (on the island of New Guinea), East Timor (on Timor) and Malaysia (on Borneo). Papua New Guinea and Brunei have only one land neighbor, while Sri Lanka doesn't have any.
9. Let's talk about the LOWEST number of neighbors for a change. "The Maghreb" is a term that refers to the north/northwestern part of Africa. Which country in this region borders only one independent African state? Choose wisely, it's a tricky one.

Answer: Morocco

 The Western Sahara is a disputed territory and thus doesn't count. The emphasis on African countries rules Spanish possessions on the Moroccan coast out. Therefore, Morocco's only African neighbor is Algeria.
10. We're in Europe again for the final question. The focus is again on the LOWEST number of neighbors. Which of these Nordic countries has the smallest number of MAINLAND neighbors (non-Nordic countries also count, but land borders on islands do not count for the purpose of this quiz)?"

Answer: Denmark

 Denmark borders only Germany (on Jutland peninsula). There is a small shared border with Canada on an island in the Arctic archipelago. The other countries each border at least two other independent states.
