Firearms: What country are they from?

I'm curious as to what obscure countries of origin there might be out there. Don't need to list names or quantities but try and use the period correct name of the country (e.g. Soviet Union, as opposed to Russia).

I'll start:

Russia
Belgium
Switzerland
Austria
Germany
United Kingdom
U.S.A.
Sweden

Zastava are from Serbia by my reckoning, though they made stuff under licence to Brno from Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic)

None of the above would I class as obscure.
Belgium may be classed as slightly odd though

The Philipino firearms I have seen looked home made, along with some very nasty looking blades

So far I see common ones,

Israel jumps to mind, South Africa.

bit more obscure,

Spain?
Portugal?

156? countries out there they cant all make their own guns.

Taiwan makes AR15 clones.

South America?

Obscure guns, One thing I have not seen is yet is a full Pakistani made no4 mk2s, just odd but very well made parts.
