No, I just want you to justify "tons of countries", by pointing out some that are important to you that Google doesn't serve.

_Alot_ of those in the list are known for "offshore" financial shenanigans where a company might be domiciled there, only for legal/tax purposes.

Ah yes, the "offshore" hive of villainy known as "The Netherlands" and worse yet "Greenland"... It's not even green!
