This is based on the Animaniacs song "The Nations of the World," sung to the the tune of the Mexican Hat Dance. If you didn't figure it out, the second and third paragraphs are my attempt to integrate countries that Yakko missed or that came into existence after the song was written. Inspired by this list of missing countries. Further enhanced by the official list of United Nations members.
