I think it might be North Korea. Since they are not on the internet; you just have never seen them play. 
In all seriousness; it is probably still Japan. They have so many good players for such a small population.

Wouldn’t China be up there? I don’t pay attention to competitions, but it seems like there are a few Chinese players with signature yoyos.

The Australians and Canadians know what their doing, along with the Philippines and Singapore. Brazilian players also have a deep history and don’t count out Mexico.

No offense but I only knew 3 or few players in these countries that you mentioned that has top competitive skills.
Your list makes me proud as a Vietnamese, probably because our name is still small and so is the market, this is why most players are not well known. I have seen many many more talented player from 2013-2017 but they all quit yo-yoing now because of many reasons. Now, we got social media booming especially IG and TikTok so hopefully things will be better

Not gonna lie most Vietnamese players has dense techincal tricks I’ve ever seen close to russians players, even with a single layered mount can do mind boggling trick concepts and it makes the viewers inspired (including me) to make their own combos.

Hopefully one day, I will see more of them competing in the international contest other than AP (I missed AP so bad, AP and 44CLASH hands down the best imo)
I agree AP has crazy SEA lineups like from the previous years, I wonder if the SG organizers has plans to make a championship this year since the pandemic is starting to slow down a bit. If they decided to do the contest again I’m 140 percent will compete and meet my yoyo friends again.

I would say America, not because I live in America but because we got Gentry, Evan, Alex Hattori, and Ryan Connolly and etc.! but I love all of them!

Sure we don’t want to talk about what country makes the best yoyo’s instead? 
Japan. Just think about the best players in yoyoing beside 1a. Yoyoing is not always about 1a.
