How many countries have koi & koi hobbyists

Believing more koi hobbyists around the world will help to make more peace on earth....
So:
a) Name countries that have koi and koi hobbyists?
b) For those countries, do they have koi clubs and/or koi shows?
Since I am here in California, USA, let me start first
a) USA
b) USA

Thanks! I did meet people from Vietnam, Thailand and possibly China, and come to think about it, I did meet someone who was born and raised in Israel that's taken it more than just a hobby and now works for Blackwater Creek in Florida.
