Countries With High-Elevation Settlements

Name the countries with populated places whose elevation is over 3000 meters.
From https://public.opendatasoft.com/explore/dataset/geonames-all-cities-with-a-population-1000/table/?flg=en-us&disjunctive.cou_name_en&sort=name.
The largest high-elevation city by population for each country is given. Google Maps' city names are used.
For one country, the most populated city listed does not seem to exist and the second is used. For another, two cities are listed with populations of 0, and the one that actually seems to exist is used. For a third, the most populated "city" is actually an uninhabited mountain peak, so the second is used. For Uganda, a city is listed, but it doesn't seem to exist and its coordinates are in the D.R. Congo.

I think Leadville is a little over 3000 meters, not 4000 meters.

That's correct; typo in the description. Most of these are between 3000 and 4000 meters. Should be fixed.
