Pokémon Go is out now in 26 new markets across Europe, The Pokémon Company has announced.

For those keeping score at home, that leaves Albania, Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, France, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, and Ukraine as European nations (or at least ones easily identifiable without a magnifying glass — apologies to all our readers in Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, and San Marino) currently still without the hot new smartphone game.
