Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, Yemen... and really it also borders Bahrain.. you can enter via the King Fahd Causeway. There is a small island in the middle where there is Saudi customs on one side and Bahraini on the other. It should count. And they would also have a border with Israel except that the Saudis gave up a small strip of land south of the Negev to Jordan, both so that Jordan would have a route to the Red Sea and also because Saudi Arabia did not want to have a border with Israel. They believe Israelis have cooties.

I think I commented somewhere (can't find the quiz now) that after searching I found that the island with customs was entirely within the territory of either Saudi or Bahrain. Today I saw a map that contradicts this. On that one, the border passes through the island where customs is, with Saudi territory on one said and Bahraini on the other. Not sure which map to trust, but if the latter is right then Saudi Arabia and Bahrain do in fact share a land border.

As I pointed out, some maps show the border passing through the sea to the west of the island with passport control, some show it passing to the east, and some show it dissecting the island through the center, thus creating a land border. Sounds like you found a map for the first variety.

It looks like it goes through the island to me. I didn't see a map with a border marked, but each country has their own passport control office and Mosque on their respective sides. They also have their own McDonald's (Bahrain has two).

Yea...the one Balkan country was Serbia, which was the heart of Yugoslavia before it broke up in the 90s. So, technically, Balkanization only yielded one answer for this border quiz. LOL

Pakistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka (there was some debate about this before and I believe it was resolved in favor of there being a (extremely narrow) land border) makes for 7. If you count Afghanistan then India borders 8 countries.

because in order to have a land border with Afghanistan, India would have to control the entirety of the disputed Jammu and Kashmir region, which they claim to, but in reality do not.

How does lack of complete control of a border make it not a border?
kalbahamut

level 75
Oct 20, 2016
It's not that they don't control the border it's that they don't control the territory that would grant them a border.

Okay imagine it this way: If France claimed that Spain was a part of France, that would give them a border with Portugal. But... Spain isn't a part of France. France has no control over Spain. So... their claim to have a border with Portugal would be a bit iffy at best. Get it?

Fun facts about the Serbia's border with Kosovo, which Serbia still considers a province of Serbia: (1) if you agree with the Serb position, then Serbia still has 8 borders, because it would then also border Albania; (2) you can drive from Serbia into Kosovo no problem, but you can't go the other way, because the Serbs don't recognise the exit stamp from "Republic of Kosovo" since they say there is no such thing! You solve that by driving briefly through a 3rd country, like Montenegro, but don't be surprised of the Serb border guards look for the Kosovo exit stamp and cross it out!

Afganistan borders Karakoram National Park in Gilgit-Baltistan, which is a region under dispute between India and Pakistan, but administered by Pakistan so I'm guessing it's considered to be a part of Pakistan. So Afghanistan borders: Pakistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzebkistan, Tajikistan and China = 6.

Should Spain be included, as on top of its three normal borders it has one with Gibraltar and at least three separate ones from its colonies in Morocco (Ceuta, Melilla and Penon de Velez). So it could be shown as 3(7).

He means they only have two real neighbours to pick fights with. In most of the world any tension between countries is often because they are neighbours (and often has roots in dispute over land)

Love reading the comments on these... just to stir up a bit on the Sri Lanka-India Border... , recently wrote up a quiz for local pub, and one question was about the most northerly bit of land. Seems it's called KaffeKlubben Island, and its off the top of Greenland. It's about 700 yards by 300 yards, and about 100 feet high. To be classed as actual land, it has to be permanently above water, even at the highest tide. There are other little bits of land that are slightly further north, but are only a few dozen yards long and 1 to 3 yards high, so unlikely to be permanently above water. Bearing that in mind, I cannot see the entire length of Adams Bridge being permanently above water, therefore it's not land, therefore no border between the two... India & Afghanistan? no border there, even if India did control Kashmir, the Hunza region and Baltistan region of Pakistan gets in the way

I did very bad on this one, only got half. I guess I should look at a map more. Cause usually I have a pretty good photographic memory, but this instance it hardly served me. I guess I only look at the map shallowly, glancing it. Cause I can picture it, but only roughly for where the countries are, not everything surrounding them

And for some countries I know the location more specifically than others. Like the -stans I only know roughly where they are but not even which is which. Only that Afghanistan and Kazakhstan are big (right?)
