In the spirit of the What is a Word™/Phrase™ series started by JLee, a special brand of Phrase™ and Word™ puzzles.
If a Country conforms to a special rule, I call it a Fine-Print Country™.
Use the examples below to find the rule.
$$ % set Title text. (spaces around the text ARE important; do not remove.) % increase Pad value only if your entries are longer than the title bar. % \def\Pad{\P{0.0}} \def\Title{\textbf{Fine-Print }} % \def\S#1#2{\Space{#1}{20px}{#2px}}\def\P#1{\V{#1em}}\ \def\V#1{\S{#1}{9}} \def\T{\Title\textbf{Countries }^™\Pad}\def\NT{\Pad\textbf{Non-}\T\ }\displaystyle \smash{\lower{24px}\bbox[yellow]{\phantom{\rlap{rubio.2017.02.04}\S{6px}{0} \begin{array}{cc}\Pad\T&\NT\\\end{array}}}}\atop\def\V#1{\S{#1}{5}} \begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline\Pad\T&\NT\\\hline % \text{ Luxembourg }&\text{ Montserrat }\\ \hline \text{ Brazil }&\text{ Madagascar }\\ \hline \text{ Philippines }&\text{ Malawi }\\ \hline \text{ Syrian Arab Republic }&\text{ China }\\ \hline \text{ Italy }&\text{ Sudan }\\ \hline \text{ Kiribati }&\text{ Tunisia }\\ \hline \text{ Georgia }&\text{ Gambia }\\ \hline \text{ Gibraltar }&\text{ Algeria }\\ \hline \text{ France }&\text{ Burkina Faso }\\ \hline \text{ Uzbekistan }&\text{ Isle of Man }\\ \hline \text{ Kenya }&\text{ US Virgin Islands }\\ \hline \text{ Norway }&\text{ Croatia }\\ \hline \text{ Panama }&\text{ Wallis and Futuna }\\ \hline \text{ Albania }&\text{ Mayotte }\\ \hline \text{ India }&\text{ Bonaire }\\ \hline \text{ Colombia }&\text{ Saint Barthelemy }\\ \hline\end{array}$$

What is the special rule that these countries conform to?
The puzzle satisfies the series' inbuilt assumption, that each word can be tested for whether it is a Fine-Print Country™ without relying on the other words. These are not the only examples of Fine-Print Countries™. You may use comments to ask for information as to whether a specific country qualifies as a Fine-Print Country™. No purchase necessary. To obtain a Fine-Print Country™ game piece, send a self-addressed, stamped email to [email protected]. Game void where prohibited.
