getNumberEnemyNeighbors()

Does this list the enemy countries that a country can attack, or does it list the enemy countries that can attack it?

Both, if the map only has standard two-way connections.

Only the former, if the country has one-way connections.

The Lux SDK always uses adjoiningLists - outgoing connections only. If you want the number of countries that can attack you, use boardhelper.getAttackList().size()

Thanks again Bertrand!

For future reference, it should be:

BoardHelper.getAttackList().length

To be clear, getAttackList().length() returns the number of countries that have an inbound connection to you. Those countries are not necessarily enemies, they could be yours. If you want the number of enemies that can attack you, a new method is needed that scans the output from getAttackList() and counts the enemy countries.
