Country Logic Puzzle by Scambigol #22

The 6x5 grid with 25 empty cells at the bottom of the quiz must be filled. Each cell contains either a country or a world capital. Capitals and country names are based on featured JetPunk quizzes. Answers can be placed in the A-Z cells at the top and later inside the grid at the bottom.

You shouldn't type an answer if you are not 100% sure it goes there, no guessing!!

For a tougher version: change Rule 6 to "there is at least one land-locked country in each of the last two rows"

Read carefully all instructions

A. DEFINITIONS:
1) Capital borders "follow" country borders (eg Ottawa borders USA; London borders Dublin)
2) Borders on territories are not considered, dubious borders are not considered (France-Brazil and Morocco-Spain are considered, France-Netherlands UK-Spain Canada-Denmark aren't, UAE-Qatar and India-Sri Lanka aren't)
3) Two answers are "almost-connected" if they do not border on the world map but they have a common neighbour
4) The cell with <- ??? -> represents a country that isn't an answer but borders one of the two answers to its left and one of the two answers to its right

B. RULES:
1) Each answer has a different initial letter
2) No answer is longer than 6 letters
3) Answers that are adjacent horizontally border on the world map. Answers that are not adjacent horizontally do not border on the world map.
4) There is a number x such that all rows in the grid have an answer having length x
5) Two almost-connected answers are never in the same column and are never in bordering rows
6) The three answers with an orange border are land-locked
7) The arrows above the fourth column in the grid indicate that no 3 consecutive answers in that column are in alphabetical order (neither ascending nor descending)

Hints for getting started:
0) Answers begin with 25 different letters, there are no countries or capitals that being with X
1) In the world map borderless countries and ones with name and name of capital longer than 6 have already been greyed out
2) When you know an answer is there but you don't know where to place it in the grid you can write it in the 'A-Z' section
