I created this puzzle right when I created an earlier puzzle that also involved countries. Countries seem to lend themselves to a lot of themes, so I'm guessing I'll go back to that well at some point in the future. This puzzle has an interesting grid shape, which I attribute to having 5 themers, 3 of which are 12 or longer. This led to nothing over 6 letters outside of the theme answers, which generally means the fill is probably less interesting. Oh well.

Loved the theme, once I got the first one I did the rest quickly, had a harder time with a few of the smaller clues. Your puzzles are a great challenge for me, you mix what I consider easy and medium clues with harder ones, always keeps it interesting.
