I don't know lol the one's I left blank I'll have to get back to because I skipped them and I'll do it in a new post. I only left them in the original post as a reminder. Don't worry about the empty ones, a bunch of them are dumb shit which I'm leaving up to shame the Codex Best RPGs list.

Russian speakers from Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia & Kazakhstan...this might have to be the first "International" entry unless just call them russian lmao AND i think theyre lying cause I figured one guy is from Russia but here's something I found on his youtube just lol "I live in Russia and my real name is Dmitrii Strogonov, but i decided to change this name to Jesse Kellor when i was 20 years old, cause i've never felt connection with russian culture. I hope to go to USA for creating music and it's my the biggest dream!". Maybe just leave this one as "Russia" Abu Antar until I find out more, I have a feeling most of these guys are ethnic Russians who are hiding it.
