How does it matter? Are you or do you know someone at Alphabet who is able to help? :)

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

You just listed 30+ countries and regions yourself and proved parent's point.

I'm sure they weight a ton or more when combined.

_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!

It’s the “Netherlands Antilles” not the Netherlands. Also, it split in 2010 [1]. The US played Curaçao, formerly of the Netherlands Antilles, in this year’s Gold Cup.
