I didn't realise the pair Denmark ๐ฉ๐ฐ/Canada ๐จ๐ฆ. But you've basically given the answer here ๐ @tipjip Sorry, really not sure how to be more clear on the rules "Of course as always you need the emoji flags and the #fridaygeotrivia hash tag" No hash tag, no point (though this answer was already discovered anyway) @opencage Costa Rica ๐จ๐ท Panama ๐ต๐ฆ #FridayGeoTrivia @opencage Costa Rica ๐จ๐ท Nicaragua ๐ณ๐ฎ #fridaygeotrivia @opencage Costa Rica ๐จ๐ท Panama ๐ต๐ฆ #fridaygeotrivia @opencage Panama ๐ต๐ฆ Colombia ๐จ๐ด #fridaygeotrivia @amapanda @opencage #fridaygeotrivia One that falls throigh the rules of not having a common neighbour - but not sharing them in a tripoint - are ๐ซ๐ทFrance and ๐ณ๐ฑThe Kingdom of the Netherlands via the constituent country Sint Maartern ๐ธ๐ฝ bordering France in the carribean. I've sent it even earlier via DM, as I did not want to spoil the fun for others.
