Trivia question time: Which two South American countries border the European Union?
There are two South American countries that share a border with a member or members of the European Union. Which are they?


You may only guess two nations at a time, per post.

4. Actually, no. Here's how I came to my selection
I didn't rely on teh Google at all. I knew one of the Guianas hadn't gained its independence, but didn't remember which one. I assumed that this one was the EU member. I did remember that Suriname and Guyana were the names of those that did gain independence, and I also knew that all three bordered Brazil. I was pretty sure that Guyana was the furthest west and the non-independent one furthest east, so I went with Suriname and Brazil.

7. Okay, I got the answers right. But I got the bordering nation wrong.
I thought it was Dutch Guiana, too.

6. Without Googling or looking at the other posts:
Brazil and Surinam.
