Yes, and I forgot Bangladesh. Arabs and Dravidians are absolutely strictly Caudasian.
Western Sahara is down there, too, although arguably not a sovereign country. India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan would go somewhere on the list, too.
And Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea.
"The term Caucasian race (also Caucasoid, Europid, or Europoid) has been used to denote the general physical type of some or all of the populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, West Asia, Central Asia and South Asia."---Wikipedia
Also:
Besides comprising the majority of the Y DNA in Somalis, the E1b1b1a (formerly E3b1a) genetic haplogroup also makes up a significant proportion of the paternal DNA of Ethiopians, Sudanese, Egyptians, Berbers, North African Arabs, as well as many Mediterranean and Balkan Europeans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somali_people#Genetics

Very interesting information. Thank you. But isn't E1b1b1a some kind of "semitic" haplogroup which entered Europe during the Arab expansion in the Middle Ages?
** EDIT **
The answer for my question above is NO.
"Haplogroup E1b1b1, mainly in the form of its E1b1b1a2 (E-V13) sub-clade reaches frequencies above 40% around the area of Kosovo. This clade is thought to have arrived in Europe from western Asia either in the later Mesolithic, or the Neolithic."
