I've also incorporated issue appearances, thanks to Trotterdam.
Foreign Nations:
Maxtopia: Maxtopia is a nation with a long history, stretching back to the often-referenced "Ancient Maxtopians", such as King Maxbari IV. There are many Maxtopian immigrants in your nation, and they provide a lot of electricity and oil to your country. Maxtopia and North Bigtopia have recently gone to war. This country has been described as "scenic, yet corrupt and totalitarian", secular, has high tariffs, and executes people for carrying drugs, such as "Maxtopian Grass". Maxtopia also has recently undergone a civil war or two, one of which involves the religious Violetists, who make up a majority in the country. It is the home of the wood-eating spikeball and the dreaded Maxtopian hornet.
Bigtopia: There are many Bigtopian immigrants in your country, who face all manner of discrimination from your country as well as Tasmania, Lilliputia, and East Lebatuck, discrimination which they frequently protest. One prominent Bigtopian, Nicholas Condor, called for the extermination of your people. Bigtopia has cheaper labor than your country, leading to outsourcing from your country to theirs. Bigtopia had a dictatorial regime led by the mass-murdering "Butcher of Bigtopia", but this regime was overthrown by revolutionaries. Bigtopia harbors anti-government activists from your country, leading to military tensions.North Bigtopia: North Bigtopia went to war with Maxtopia, leading to clashes between Maxtopian and Bigtopian immigrants.
Outer Bigtopia: Spies on your country with an agent named "Solo".
Marche Noir: Another country whose citizens immigrate to yours, Marche Noir is on the brink of a "terrible and violent civil war". After this civil war occurs, Marche Noir overthrows their oppressive monarchy, but elects a government opposed to your country. Despite their political instability, the Marche Noirians have a good economy, producing a lot of cars and agricultural products such as rice. They have tensions with neighboring Brasilstan.
Lilliputia: Home of the Lilliputian immigrants. They believe your country has occupied their homeland, and funds terrorist attacks against you. Lilliputia has been accused of discriminating against Bigtopians. Lilliputia is home of the Giant Lilliputian rabbit. Mr. Marple, a world-renown private investigator, is from this country.North Lilliputia: Casinos from your country have been built here. It is unknown if this is a separate country from Lilliputia or merely a region.
Tasmania: An ethnicity known for colorful tribal attire, there are many Tasmanian immigrants from your country, probably fleeing frequent civil wars. These immigrants are often the victim of negative media stereotypes. They have been accused of discriminating against Bigtopians. Infamous terrorist and assassin Mad Max lived in this country.
East Lebatuck: The East Lebatuckese have been accused of discriminating against Bigtopians. East Lebuckte has a space program as well as a satellite in orbit named "Sputnak," which seems to suggest that East Lebuckte is becoming a representation of the Soviet Union, at least regarding the space race
Smalltopia: Homeland of Harold Weissenegger, an immigrant bodybuilder and actor in your country.
Brasilistan: A diamond producing nation known for abducting its citizens children as well as people from Marche Noir. The abduction of tourists from your country leads to an international incident which can go many different directions.
A small nameless nation: Lead by an Emperor who calls himself "Supreme Leader for all Eternity", this small nation is under your sphere of influence, but still goes on a psychotic, genocidal rampage against the Bigtopians within their borders.
Wezeltonia: A nation which borders one of your country's remote overseas territories, a chain of islands named after your national animal. The Wezeltonians claim sovereignty over these islands even though your colonists have lived there for generations, and are willing to invade them to seize the territory.
Blackacre: A nation with chilly relations with your country, to the extent that Blackacre sent agents to assassinate you. One of their agents, Ussa Maddox, is the alleged nemesis of your country's least-reliable spy, Crazy Boris, who blames Maddox for sinking one of your navy's vessels. Blackacre had fracking operations which lead to earthquakes in their country.
Brancaland: A stable, richly-cultured nation, known for its multilingual policies
It is rich in culture and multilingual, @@NAME@@'s citizens apparently like to retire there, and it's ambassadors like to get drunk.
It's also a popular tourist destination among your citizens.

Break-away Nations:

@@RANDOMNAME@@ County A rural county in your nation taken over by a bearded militia led by a turnip farmer which attempts to secede.
Other info
Several issues mention nations in which something significant is happening without naming them.
#194 A Request For Military Aid [a small nameless nation]
#206 @@NAME@@ Narrowly Misses Nuclear Accident [a neighbouring nation, turns out in #301 to be Maxtopia]
#267 Controversial Coup Causes Commotion [a neighbouring country]
#312 The Empire Strikes First? [several neighbouring nations]
#337 Doctors Crossing Borders? [a neighbouring nation]
This is probably not a complete list.
One easter egg issue mentions several nations which are actual player-created nations in the game, rather than the usual placeholders.
#266 Easter Egg: Breaching the Great Fourth Wall of @@NAME@@
Stalclaft (resource-rich war zone)
Cea-Dicee (military superpower with spaceships)
Subspais (ancient ruins)
It also mentions the islands of Uoeq and Sekonlif.
(Sedgistan reports those nations were created after the issue was added, and so are not an intentional reference to certain players.)
All of this needs to be updated, but here is all the info I gathered from the previous thread. I'll go search the spoiler thread and update this list soon. If you find anything else, please tell me.
Things to do list
- Search the spoiler thread for all the nations again to find other NPC nation mentions in newer issues.
-Update descriptions
