One Orthodox Church for Every Country- Haiti to Hungary



These are all churches that currently hold Orthodox services. If I can't find evidence of a church that holds regular services (house churches count), then the country does not have an Orthodox Church listed. I have included Oriental Orthodox Churches. If you know of a country with an Orthodox Church that I have missed or overlooked, please let me know. 



Haiti

Holy See (Vatican City)
I think it’s fair we don’t have one here, however the Orthodox Church of St Catherine of Alexandria overlooks St Peter’s Basilica from its spot in Rome.
