If you know of any I will stand corrected. Unless you want to count
small island nations that don't have any major cities, such as Tonga
and Tobago.
Off the top of my head here are a few the countries that do:
UK
Scotland
Ireland
Mainland USA
Canada
Australia
India
Pakistan
Others places include:
Most, if not all, of Europe
Russia and most of the former USSR
Much of Asia (including China and Japan)
Mexico
Central America
South America
and so on ...
