Overview

Allowed are books whose plot majorily takes place in the country it was selected for. Books where you pass through a country for only a short period of time (less than half of the book's content) do not count for that country.
The nationality of the author is not relevant to this challenge.
Fiction and nonfiction are allowed.

This challenge has no start or end date, so you can retroactively add past reads.

A storygraph reading challenged based on the challenge in German book club Mitlesezentrale.

Several de-facto states or states with a significant international recognition have also been added as their individual countries: Faroe, Greenland, Kosovo Palestine, Taiwan and Western Sahara. Oversea Territories are listed separately at the end of the prompt list.
The countries are ordered by continent (in order: Africa, Asia, Australia and Oceania, Europe, North America, South America, Oversea Territories (british, french, dutch)), and within those by alphabet.
If there's multiple popular ways of writing a countrys name (like Ivory Coast and Côte d'Ivoire), one of them will be in parenthesies
