Answer 1
Twelver shia Muslims live in many countries. Iran is the main Shia county and the leader of Shia Islam in world. Twelver Shia Islam constitute the majority of the population in Iran (90%), Azerbaijan (75%), Bahrain (70%), Lebanon (65% of Muslims) and Iraq (65%), Yemen (45%). Other countries with a significant proportion of Shia are Syria (15%), Kuwait (35%), Pakistan (20%), India (23% of Muslims), Afghanistan (15%), Saudi Arabia (18%), Turkey (20%), United Arab Emirates (16%), Qatar (15%), Albania(25%).
other Muslim countries are mainly sunni with minor shia population. Qum in Iran and Najaf in iraq are two main city of Shia Islam.
See the related link for differences between Sunni and Shia Islam.
Answer 2
With the exception of very minor Islamic sects, Shiites and Sunnis are the only Islamic Sects. Therefore almost all Muslim-majority countries (the exception being Oman which has an Ibadi majority) are an exclusively Shiite-Sunni mix (except for non-Islamic religions). In the countries surrounding Oman, there may be incidental Ibadis but other than that, there is no significant population of non-Shia and non-Sunni Islam in the world today.
