The hard ones for me were countries in mainland Africa, island nations in the Atlantic and the Pacific, and small adjacent countries that you associate in a group – say Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, or Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan.
- LfLxfxxLxfxx 3y agoLithuania, Latvia and Estonia are easy - they go in alphabetical order from north to south.
- Tainnor 3y agoAlso, Estonia is closest to Finland, which makes sense since the languages are close.
- 130e13a 3y agoand it makes sense that lithuania is the bottom one (ie, closest to poland), since there used to be a polish lithuanian commonwealth
- reducesuffering 3y agoAlso Lat-via as in lateral makes me think of it in the middle.
- baryphonic 3y agoFor the 'stans, I remember TUTK (west to east), and that Turkmenistan is closest to Turkey.
- mason55 3y agoThe other way to remember is, if you can remember that Kazakhstan is the biggest, then it goes alphabetically clockwise. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan
