A sentence spoken by youngest Spock (12) on the way to basketball tonight.

We-Me, Spocklette and him were talking about the "Stans"-Afghan/Paki/Kazakh-etc

Youngest said that there is one of them that is not in the same cluster as the others-well, with smart phones-the relevant maps were pulled up and we saw they are in the same cluster.

At which point-he spoke the title sentence-"I was thinking about Azerbeijan"-A couple of minutes later I started chuckling at the absurdity of the sentence and said that is probably a sentence that is not said very often. He got a kick out of that.

Then we started talking about Chechnya/Dagestan-etc-because he was wondering who the Chechens were. He has read a lot of the "American Sniper/Black Hawk Down" genre and the Chechens make appearance in "The Reaper."

That would be a good trivia question. Which independent -stan borders only one other -stan?

Conversely, which independent -stan borders the most other -stans?

Not that hard a question if you have been to most of them!

Looks like there are seven contiguous Stans.
Borders 1 other Stans = 1
Borders 3 other Stans = 4
Borders 4 other Stans = 1
Borders 5 other Stans = 1
