Comment
This page lists the authors and the proposing countries of the problems of the IMO.
For many problems, the composers do not have the nationality of the proposing country. For instance, problem 2009/4 was proposed by Belgium, but only two of the three problem authors were Belgian, whereas the third is from South-Korea.
To the current moment, there is only a single IMO problem that has two distinct proposing countries: The if-part of problem 1994/2 was proposed by Australia and its only-if part by Armenia.
