Just out of curiosity, with such a short list of countries you don't hire in, why do countries like Mexico, Italy, Sweden, and Spain make it on the same list as North Korea?

I never understand the "same list as" thing. All countries appear on a list of all countries. North Korea appears on the same list as Japan if you make a list of East Asian countries.
It's probably related to tax or other regulatory/legal issues with hiring contractors across borders.
Sure but the list of all countries is quite a bit longer; the list in the FAQ is a much narrower category than that.
If they were able to figure out legal issues in the other hundred plus countries, I was wondering what's so particularly challenging about these, that's all.
