About this quiz
Every country with exactly one land neighbour. Countries whose count can be argued are left out: Canada and Denmark (Hans Island), and the United Kingdom (Gibraltar and the bases on Cyprus).
- Italy is the only neighbour of two countries on the list, and South Africa surrounds Lesotho completely.
- Haiti and the Dominican Republic share one island and border nobody else.

Note on the data. Land borders, land boundary lengths, coastlines and highest points are those of the CIA World Factbook in its last (2025) edition, read on 3 October 2026 from the archived copies of the agency's own field pages, parsed by script and checked to be symmetric. A border through a dependency (French Guiana, Gibraltar, Greenland, Ceuta and Melilla) or one that depends on a disputed status (Kosovo, Palestine, Western Sahara, the Golan Heights) is on a doubtful list and is never asked. A country is listed when the Factbook names exactly one border country for it and it is in no doubtful pair.
