Denmark, Russia, Poland, Germany, Belarus, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Czechia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Hungary, Switzerland, France, Italy, San Marino, Holy See, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, Monaco.Further down the thread, a user has kindly listed 20 world capitals ordered by the number of countries within 500 miles, which is worth checking out.
