It’s not a quesiton of which COUNTRY, but which LANGUAGES are written that way.

Latin and German-based languages are left to right, for instance.

Semitic languages (Arabic and Hebrew, for instance) are right to left.

If you’re looking for countries, that’s why you’re not finding the info.

First, find out which languages are that way, they find out what countries have large populations of users of those languages.

*************Note*****************

Please notice the correct writing system for the below countries

******** China/Japan/Korea*********

http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-scripts

Ideographic languages (e.g. Japanese, Korean, Chinese) are more flexible in their writing direction. They are generally written left-to-right, or vertically top-to-bottom (with the vertical lines proceeding from right to left). However, they are occasionally written right to left. Chinese newspapers sometimes combine all of these writing directions on the same page.*********************

Open the link for all of the countries.

Which languages are written right-to-left (RTL)?

There is a long list

http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-scripts

Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and Farsi (Persian) are written from right to left, while numbers and segments of Latin (or Cyrillic or Greek) text are embedded in this text from left to right.
