Have i missed any??

Tatarstan is not a country, it's part of Russia. Any anyway, they have 2 of Russia's strongest clubs in Kazan Energy and Kazan Arrows, so would be part of the first list.

Add Indonesia to the unsure list. Surely Rugby League has been played in West Papua, a province of Indonesia.

A few years ago I asked the people at the PNG Post Courier, and they said that no, RL has never been played there, although it is played right up to the border, and there used to be a regular origin match between Papua and New Guinea, but it didn't actually utilise players with ties to what is now called Irian Jaya by the Indonesians.
