HC is closest.
The shortest possible route by car is what I meant. +/- 500km or 300 miles.

It's a tie between HC and Chen who both got 2 each but between them have given 3.
You could have had: Ukraine, Ural, Siberia, Irkutsk and what I thought would be the easy one, Kamchatka.
Tie-break question for HC and Chen:
How many RISK! territories make up what is the current USA?
