You forgot Czechoslovakia, East Germany, South Yemen, the USSR and Yugoslavia ( unless your only counting countries that still exist ). If you don't count those countries you still have to include: Afghanistan, Albania, Angola, Benin, Republic of the Congo, Grenada, Hungary, Madagascar, Mongolia, Mozambique, Somalia and Vietnam
