Has there been a nation that played a part in WWII that hasn't been in a game at all?

Once upon a time, I'm sure I had a list of every combatant "faction", but I can't find it, so lets see what I can do from memory:

AXIS:

Main contenders:

Germany (with Austria)
Italy (mostly gave up in 1943, some fighting with the Allies)
Japan
Finland (changed their minds later)
Romania (changed sides)
Hungary
Bulgaria

Add-ons:

Croatia
Slovakia (after Germany broke up Czechoslovakia, only briefly a "country"; but look - i is again now!)
Vichy France

Volunteer Contingents:

[This one can obviously get rather silly]
Yugoslav Chechniks? [Did I remember the right group?]
ID.250 - Spanish Nationals serving as "Division Azul"

Waffen-SS:
Belgium
Denmark
Norway
Netherlands
Finland (they crop up everywhere)
Great Britain (yes, really - at least 12 men)
Someone list the rest!

ALLIES:

Main Contenders:

USSR (including all the Soviet Republics)
USA
Great Britain and the Commonwealth...
  • Australia
  • Canada
  • New Zealand (incl Samoa)
  • India
  • South Africa
  • Rhodesia (North and South)
  • There are a whole bunch of smaller contingents I can't remember
China

Additional:
Poland
France
Belgium
Netherlands
Yugoslavia
Greece
Cyprus
Luxemburg
Brazil
Mexico
Albania
Denmark
Norway
Andorra
Commonwealth of the Phillipines
Bahrain
Latvia
Lithuania
Estonia
Fiji
Malaya (under British rule)
Malta
Mongolia
Oman

"Came over":
Italy
Romania
Finland (did they ever declare war on the Axis?)

Signed up, but didn't fight (there may have been combat troops, but I don't think so) (and I'm not counting those who "declared war" in 1945, just because...):

Costa Rica
Cuba
Dominican Republic
El Salvador
Guatemala
Haiti
Honduras
Nicaragua
Panama
Korea (under a provisional government?)
Ethiopa
Iraq
Bolivia
Colombia
Iran
Liberia
Peru

Volunteers from neutral countries:

Republic of Ireland
Argentina
Armenia (in the Red Army)
And, no doubt, a bunch of others!

OK - I lost the plot there somewhere, but I'll post it anyway!

You forgot about every French, British, German, Italian, and English colony in Africa and in the pacific islands ;)

It's like some kind of joke, why lately everyone writes Lithuania incorrect?
Btw what about Estonia?

So in which game is Estonia in? (except HoI and mods)
A game where you get to play as the Estonian Forest Brothers would be badass. :cool:
Why exactly Estonian Forest Brothers?
To troll proud Lithuenilanderz, maybe? :p
Hey its not nice to troll the Lithulangoliers!
Not when they write Lithuania incorrectly in an official game website :D

Just think about the possibilities for story and gameplay. I mean your basically fighting for a good cause, you can get weapons and have alliance with anyone from the Germans to the Americans and British later and players would have to figure out ways of fighting against overwhelming odds. It would have great opportunities to tell an interesting story I think.
