The censored one is probably Niger

UPDATE - special thanks to @dditty@lemm.ee for making a map showing the countries without access to PSN:

Oh man, even all the small European ones are fucked. Andorra, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Monaco. Hilarious!

Wait, Luxembourg is not on this list? Wow.

Why does Andorra even exist? The Spaniards or Français should fight another dozen wars over those mountains

It exists so that people can buy cheap booze. Or at least that’s wha it used to be for.

It exists for tax evasion purposes.

It’s used for ecosystem and biodiversity preservation. Europe forced the poor rich people to hide in places such as Andorra, Monaco, Lichtenstein, and other repressed micro states. But at least there they are free to practice their own tax optimisation strategy, without intervention from evil communist states.

Luxembourg is small but it’s not a microstate like the other you listed. It’s not limited to a single city.
