Countries chain by clues

Try and work out the countries in this chain, each one is somehow linked to both the previous and the next country in some way. This goes for the first and last countries too, and thus completes the 'chain'.
Remember, each country has something in common with both the country above and below it!
I tried to be creative, please be sympathetic if there are any silly mistakes :-)
