Countries with Lowest Average Letter Score

All letters of all country names have been converted to a score corresponding to their position in the alphabet (a = 1, b = 2, ... z = 26). Summing and then averaging the letter scores, can you guess the 20 countries with the lowest average score?
E.g. a word like 'test' would have an average of 20+5+19+20 = 64 / 4 = 16.
Spaces and dashes between words give no points.
Using full country names as they appear in JetPunk's 'Countries of the World' quiz.
