yea its Russia (referring to USSR) so no post-Soviet states.

English version does mention Israel but Arabic version has Palestine twice.

This is the version I used to learn all the countries

Did that dude just say Dahomey

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
