Maybe I'm wrong, and I made a wrong translation, but in Los Angeles song, FB sing:
I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one in Los Angeles
No not the one in South California
They got one in South Patagonia
Here in Chile we have a city called Los Angeles (near to Patagonia), maybe FB is talking about it.

Does it count if a place in the country is mentioned, but the country itself isn't mentioned by name? If so, you could add Greece for "Olé Mulholland," and Egypt for "How You Went So Far." Oh, and Panama is specifically mentioned in "Subbacultcha."
And, as I'm sure Pixie Punk knows, Puerto Rico is actually part of the United States.

Germany - "Ludwigshafen"
Italy - "Back to Rome"
France again (sorry) - "Dog Gone" (No Paris, no Nepal etc) and "New House of the Pope" (= Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which is not only an excellent wine but also a lovely town near Avignon).

The Memphis in "Letter To Memphis" is in Egypt. The one in "Dog Gone" could be either that or the one in Tennessee, since the song mentions both current places (Paris, Nepal) and ancient ones (Kish). I believe Kish was in modern-day Iraq. I'm not sure about Kishangargh; a search reveals mostly just multiple pages with the lyrics to "Dog Gone," but a few results suggest that it might be in India.

from "wierd at my school": Arabia (as in Saudi) and Colombia.
FWIW, he also says "and often times you know i'll fantasize about having sex with nuns at my school"
which leads to the next logical step/thread: Sexual references in FB/Pixies songs.
