I'm not sure I know enough about all of these countries economic systems to declare them socialist, but my definition of socialist would be nations that have universal healthcare, heavily subsidized or free post-secondary, and other policies that subsidize the poor (minimum wages, high tax rates for wealthy, welfare programs, etc..). I include Canada in that category. Many that live here don't seem to want to admit it, but compared to the rest of the world, Canada is very socialist.

The ones I have bolded are ones I'm not sure of. The others I am pretty confident run relatively socialist systems. Australia I'm not QUITE sure about, but I do know they have universal healthcare (although I think it's a 2-tiered system).
So every country except the US
