I'm sure we have far more broadband infrastructure than all three of those countries combined. If 'your' country was smaller than West Virginia (Croatia) it shouldn't be hard to have nearly everything covered by broadband. Hell, I deployed a wireless network that covered nearly half the state of Iowa in 6 months (1/2 = 23,138 sq. miles).
