Nice! Myanmar isn't in the right spot, it seems to be where Burma would be for alphabetical order.

Yep, it was the last one I had to get and took me a while to work out which country beginning with B or C was missing! :)

Exactly my thought. At first I figured it must have been because some forgot about Kaliningrad, but clearly not if Germany is in there.

For some reason some stans that are answers on this quiz (they don't border Russia) are listed in the borders via section of the answer stats for other stans

Can you include a caveat saying that Kaliningrad counts as Russia?

Why would there be a caveat?

seems unjustified to add a caveat for something like this. By that logic, we need a caveat that the island of Timor (western half, moreover) counts in an Indonesian country borders quiz

Do we need a caveat stating the same about the US with Alaska and Hawaii? Seriously dude, Kaliningrad is Russian and everyone knows it. No one needs the caveat

Weird that 90% got Slovakia but only 60% got Czechia.

Not really. It was my last guess as well, because I forgot about Kaliningrad until Poland wasn’t accepted. Slovakia is further to the East and borders Ukraine, which has had a bit of media attention lately…

How did 94% get Germany then? :)

I'm assuming it's to do with the direction you look towards Russia. When you do it from Germany, you look straight into Poland, which, as most will know, borders Kaliningrad. When you do it from Czechia, however, the next country to the east is Slovakia, which does not border Russia. So that makes it seemingly a wrong answer. I also remembered only in the last minute to look up north from Czechia instead.

apparently a good portion of quiztakers missed the Czech Republic when Germany follows the same path.

I had just Afghanistan left, couldn't think of it so paused it and thought for a while, then I almost fell asleep, started thinking again and got it

Turkey also borders Azerbaijan. It's a very small border, but it's there
