Some of countries that have international borders which each other but are otherwise very different to each other (by the usual parameters, largely socio-culturally).
Some of the ones which stand out for me include:
China and India
China and Pakistan
China and Russia
India and Myanmar
Bangladesh and Myanmar
Russia and North Korea
Russia and Mongolia
France and Germany
Italy and Austria
Germany and Poland
Bulgaria and Greece
Israel and Egypt
Senegal and Mali
Kenya and Uganda
United States and Mexico (although the border states are more Mexican-influenced)
Switzlerand and Italy is the first one that comes to mind. They are like night and day opposites.
