Can you name all of the countries that were allied with either the west or the USSR during the cold war or were involved in the various proxy conflicts as of the year 1980?
Obviously there's some room for judgments -- i.e. Brazil but not Chile, Nicaragua - communist. However, Yemen was divided into North and South not East and West. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yemeni_unification
Supposedly the USSR was set up a bit like the UK, with the various SSRs retaining some autonomy while giving up much of their power to an overall federal government. However the Russian SSR, being the biggest by far, came to dominate all of the other SSRs to the point where they had cultural autonomy at best. I really just put them in to make the quiz more challenging.
