Much easier than expected, if you know all the countries you just got to look at the map. First try, I did it with 8 minutes spare and didnt even try to go fast.

I thnk you should decreasce to 15 minutes tops, so you cant just randonly guess which should be next, I believe lots of people do that.

UAE borders Saudi Arabia and Oman, both of which have already been used at that point. So you've hit a dead end, meaning you go back to the previous country.

The previous country was Oman, bordering Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and the UAE. All of them have been used already, so we go back once more.

The previous one was Yemen, bordering Saudi Arabia and Oman. Again all were used, so we go back again.

Then we are in Saudi Arabia, bordering Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, and Yemen. The ones not guessed are Jordan, Kuwait, and Qatar: the biggest out of these is Jordan, the next answer.

There's a small island "Hans Island" which is split roughly half and half between Greenland and Canada, meaning that technically Denmark shares a border with Canada.

Could you also include in the clarification that the Singapore bridge does not count, as does the Canada-Denmark (Greenland) border?
