Yeah, I was pretty good in Asia, except for the various ex-USSR "-stans" (I just know Kazakhstan is the biggest one).
If you know Kazakhstan is the biggest then you can get the rest. They're alphabetical going clockwise from Kazakhstan -> Kyrgyzstan -> Tajikistan -> Turkmenistan -> Uzbekistan
"Mexico" -> "USA, close enough"

Also possible with Russia + either one of those:

* Ukraine

* Norway

* Poland

* Estonia

* Lithuania

* North Korea

* China

* Latvia

* Finland

* Georgia

* Mongolia

* Kazakhstan

* Belarus

* Azerbaijan
