73. Ecuador
74. Any Asterix fan will tell you that that is France.
23. Barbados
68. Zambia
13 Singapore (sing & a pore)
61. Tunisia (I think)
78. Syria

16. Porto Rico (maybe, I'm not sure) EDIT - Can't be at that's already an answer.

I would say England for 28, but we've already has UK as an answer. 76 could be one of several european countries such as Germany or Austria.
