i've never heard of a fourth of these countries lol, great to see that they're still expanding just like their retail stores though :D

I'm always amazed by how little most people know about topography. Especially people from North-America ;)

Learn geography (and international law) - there is no such country.
It is just a province...
Depends on who you're talking with. It's the same with the Republic of China (Taiwan), though there's an Apple Store (Link (www.apple.com/tw)). There're 76 states that acknowledge the existence of the independent state Kosovo. The US is one of them. So there's absolutely no reason for Apple (international law or 'geographically' :rolleyes:) for not launching a Kosovan iTunes Store.

BTW: The declaration of independence of Kosovo in 2008 has been found not violating resolution 1244 nor was it in any other way unlawful (in respect to international law) (http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=35396&Cr=&Cr1=).

One thing amazing about AppStore is the reach to international customers. There are still many countries left out in the Android Market, and for Amazon appstore, it is US only. Apparently Apple did a great job.
