Rihla: trace a route across borders

Rihla gives you two countries. Name countries that share land borders to link them up. Every guess lights up on the globe, coloured by how close it is to a shortest route.

Any order works: the route is complete once your countries connect the two ends.
You have the shortest route’s length plus four guesses.
Pick a region and a route length before you start.
