Countries that don't speak an Indo-European language

The Indo-Europeans languages is a family of languages native to most of Europe and South Asia. It is the most widely spoken language family in the world, with about half the population being native speakers, and hundreds of millions more second language-speakers. Can you name all the countries that don't have at least one of these as a official language?
This quiz takes a country to "speak an Indo-European language" if it has an IE language as an official language, or if it has an IE language as its main spoken language.

Nepal's official language, Nepali, is IE, so Nepal should be removed.

Thank you. I personally think Palestine is a country, but Jetpunk doesn't count it as one, so I decided to go with the site's list to avoid the usual fight about whether to include this-or-that place as countries.

The original source listed Kurdish as being just a "regional language", but the country's Wikipedia article says Arabic and Kurdish both are official. Thanks for the correction, it's fixed now.

3 Things. First off, the Official language of Niger has been changed to only be Hausa. Secondly, it's actually "Federated States of Micronesia" or "FS Micronesia" and not just Micronesia (it's a similar situation to the USA; Micronesia is the name of the region it's in, which is much broader). Nd lastly, English is the official language of FS Micronesia
