So, Russia, North Korea and China plus most of their neighbours. Then anywhere that is neutral plus a few more.

By the way, Bermuda is not a country so shouldn't be on the list and Paraguay seems to have been included twice.

Thanks for the feedback. I do appreciate it :) Paraguay is included twice because it fits 2 criteria at the same time. I did have a hard time deciding the inclusion of both Bermuda and France. According to my own research, Bermuda is a self-governing British overseas territory and it has its own military. Regiment and policy, that's why I included it.
