Would any of you know of a quick source for a datum: the perimeter in Kilometres of the DR Congo (formerly Zaire)? More properly, the perimeter minus the coast line, i.e. the length in kilometres of the borders it shares with its nine neighbours? As a follow-up, do you know of any other country in the world which borders more states than DRC (nine?). I think there are one or two others on the African continent with that many borders - and I suppose now that Russia may rival it... Comparative stats on this would also be useful... Many thanks!
