HERE WE GO The May 2024 #fridaygeotrivia question.
What is the longest chain of countries such that each successive country in the chain shares a land border and capital city names are in alphabetical order?
Example: SK 
(Bratislava) - CZ 
(Prague) - PL 
(Warsaw) is a chain of 3. Who can top that?
As always, you need the #fridaygeotrivia hashtag and the country flag emoji.
1/n
2/ One other twist to the game: in the case of dependent territories with their own ISO code you can use either the capital of the country or the capital of the dependent territory. So, for example, you can consider the capital of French Guiana 
(ISO code: GF) to be Cayenne or Paris.

Good luck! #fridaygeotrivia
3/ to clarify - capital names in ENGLISH, not the local language(s).
