🚨 Here we go! 🚨 The question: What is the longest chain of countries, such that each country shares a land border with and has a shorter name than the previous country?

Ex: Luxembourg 🇱🇺 (10 chars) Belgium 🇧🇪 (7) France 🇫🇷 (6) Spain 🇪🇸 (5).

- you must include the hashtag and emoji flags

- spaces in the name count as a char. Ex: “South Africa” (12)

- “The “ at start of the name does not count. Ex: “Netherlands” (11) not “The Netherlands” (15)

Example chain of four countries each bordering the next and each name shorter than the previous one

@ccferrie @opencage Could add Kingdom of the Netherlands 🇳🇱 (26) => 🇩🇪 to the front of that German Federal Republic (23); These days 🇨🇿 is Czechia IIRC tho'.

@ccferrie @opencage and possibly United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 🇬🇧 (lots) as Wikipedia lists a land border with 🇳🇱 .

@opencage @ccferrie Well-known of course that Wikipedia is an unreliable source 😁

@SK53 @ccferrie We leave a formal land survey of the border as an exercise for the reader
