Hi Stu,

Probably not, but then, does any nation have true friends, even in the political sense?

Heck, sometimes even the members of _our own families_ are anything but friendly. And that's way simpler than in a a macro-social world scale.

I recall a saying long ago +/- stating that "there is no such thing as friendly nations, only nations with similar interests".

: )

Now, taking things a little less seriously, I believe that the mutual factor in the list might be far more mundane, probably poorly regulated mail systems, or Custom Laws that may confiscate "weapons" imported into that country. Whatever it might be, it would be good to know.

I'm amazed that Spain, Israel, Denmark, Switzerland, Turkey and Portugal are not included.

Take care!
