I don't think there's an entire country I would give an F, although there are a few with nothing better than a D:
UK, Ireland, Iceland, Netherlands in NW Europe. Belgium and Denmark just escape.
Singapore, Brunei (not nice climates but not Fs)
South Korea (too much rain in summer throughout the country, even if the northern parts have decent enough winters). Japan is similar in the south, but the awesome climate at Sapporo saves it.
A good chunk of China is an D, E or F for me, exceptions being Tibet, Xinjiang/Inner Mongolia, Kunming and Harbin.
I was thinking Equatorial Guinea, but it has a 3000m high mountain which surely sits above the gloom in the dry season, and has comfortable temperatures year round. Maybe Gabon then?
The UK does have quite a few F climates (Shetlands, most of Scotland, pretty much all of Ireland) but the remainder range from C+ (just) to E. I rate the sunniest parts of the south coast that remain warm (Southsea area) a C+, London and most of the south east a D+, most of the rest of England and Wales a D-, and the rest of Scotland and parts of NE England Es.
For a whole country to get an F, it has to have non existent summers, or brutally cold winters that last too long.
Russia misses out, because it has Sochi which saves it. Canada comes close too, but it has Vancouver with milder winters, and Toronto with at least decent summers. That leaves mostly maritime islands and hot desert furnaces for the F climates.
-Iceland, all islands above 55N
-Greenland
-The hot desert countries in Africa that have little yearly variation with ridiculous 40C/30C months.
