I remember him mentioning the atomic bombs, but it must've been specifically about the cities.

Sounds familiar, but I can't seem to find any mention of either city. Only a joke about nuclear warheads in S5E5.

I love this quiz.

I was trying to work out in what context each country is mentioned.

I vividly remember Lydia mentioning the Czech Republic as "10% of the population is addicted to meth".

I also think the workers from the laundry who Walt let clean the lab were being deported back to Honduras.

Anyone else remember any other mentions?

Walter talked a few times about the germans during ww2, such as the Gustav gun. Saul also takes about sending someone to Belize as code for killing them

I also remember Walt talking about the plane collision in Tenerife, so I was surprised that Spain was never mentioned.

I downloaded all episode subtitles from here, then made a Python script to find all references to countries and went through each hit to determine if it suited my criteria.

Could you publish your results somewhere? Maybe in a blog post?

Would be better suited for a pastebin. My script just spits out what episode a country is mentioned in - I then open the subtitles for the episode and check the context of the reference to the country. I didn't write an explanation for each instance because there were over 150 of them.

The unprocessed results are here and the terms I searched for are here.

I could also publish the script used.

Disagree, Tenerife is only a part of Spain.
