Best Answer

Five countries recognize Buddhism as their official or predominate religion, these are: Bhutan, Cambodia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Kalmykia (a small European country in the Russian Federation).

But. in the bigger context, there are Buddhists in almost every country. For example there are between 1.5 to 6 Million Buddhists in the USA.

Buddhism can be found in virtually every country in the world, but it is most common in the Far East particularly in Tibet, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Japan as well as other countries in that part of the world.
