Given a list of countries in alphabetical order, put them in the same order as they are given in the song "Yakko's World".

Specifically, you are given the following list of countries* exactly:

Abu Dhabi, Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Algiers, Angola, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bhutan, Bolivia, Borneo, Botswana, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burma, Burundi, Cameroon, Canada, Caribbean, Cayman, Chad, Chile, China, Colombia, Congo, Costa Rica, Crete, Cuba, Cyprus, Czechoslovakia, Dahomey, Denmark, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, England, Ethiopia, Fiji, Finland, France, French Guiana, Gabon, Gambia, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Greenland, Guam, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kampuchea, Kenya, Korea, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Mahore, Malawi, Malaysia, Mali, Malta, Mauritania, Mexico, Monaco, Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, New Guinea, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Republic Dominican, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, San Juan, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Sumatra, Surinam, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, The Netherlands, The Philippine Islands, Tibet, Tobago, Togo, Transylvania, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam, Yemen, Yugoslavia, Zaire, Zambia, Zimbabwe

And required to output the countries in this order:

United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru, Republic Dominican, Cuba, Caribbean, Greenland, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Venezuela, Honduras, Guyana, Guatemala, Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Chile, Brazil, Costa Rica, Belize, Nicaragua, Bermuda, Bahamas, Tobago, San Juan, Paraguay, Uruguay, Surinam, French Guiana, Barbados, Guam, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Poland, Romania, Scotland, Albania, Ireland, Russia, Oman, Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia, Hungary, Cyprus, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Yemen, Kuwait, Bahrain, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, Portugal, France, England, Denmark, Spain, India, Pakistan, Burma, Afghanistan, Thailand, Nepal, Bhutan, Kampuchea, Malaysia, Bangladesh, China, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Laos, Tibet, Indonesia, The Philippine Islands, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, New Guinea, Sumatra, New Zealand, Borneo, Vietnam, Tunisia, Morocco, Uganda, Angola, Zimbabwe, Djibouti, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Swaziland, Gambia, Guinea, Algeria, Ghana, Burundi, Lesotho, Malawi, Togo, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Liberia, Egypt, Benin, Gabon, Tanzania, Somalia, Kenya, Mali, Sierra Leone, Algiers, Dahomey, Namibia, Senegal, Libya, Cameroon, Congo, Zaire, Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, Madagascar, Rwanda, Mahore, Cayman, Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Yugoslavia, Crete, Mauritania, Transylvania, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Malta, Palestine, Fiji, Australia, Sudan

You have some flexibility in the form of the input and output; you can take or output the countries as all uppercase, all lowercase, or maintaining case, and can choose to omit spaces as well.

Standard loopholes are forbidden. Since this is , the shortest code wins.


*Note that Yakko's World includes several places that aren't countries, and that several countries aren't included in the list.

Boring, but it's not clear what further logic could bring it down. The program is just a giant compressed integer representing a permutation, and a builtin to apply it.

This is based on a specific implementation of sort() but probably works with several engines.

The source code contains unprintable characters.

a=>a.sort(_=>Buffer(`!IF<@E*JGL8*'M-&LDJ>!F%8+,.C?$9C-=M#10-G!G7B*D9,,2!:F"@BF5H;#3-$IK.EK;(%H+F'L'I2,-J2'7M551;,;8*! /%92 D&@J?0E:<2G3EG.K-I'`)[i/6|0]-14<<31-i++%6,i=0)

Try it online!

How?

We make the callback function of sort() returning either a negative or non-negative value, depending on whether the items must be swapped or not. We need one bit per iteration and the data string encodes \$6\$ bits per character, using the ASCII range \$[14\dots77]\$.

The list is fully sorted after \$943\$ iterations, which requires \$\lceil 943/6\rceil=158\$ characters. It happens to be equal to the number of countries in the list, but that's a pure coincidence.

Commented

a =>            // a[] = input list, in alphabetical order
a.sort(_ =>     // sort it, ignoring the arguments of the callback
  Buffer(`...`) //   turn the data string into a list of ASCII codes
  [i / 6 | 0]   //   extract the entry at index floor(i / 6)
  - 14          //   subtract a fixed encoding offset, chosen to avoid
                //   characters that can't be included as literals or
                //   must be escaped
  << 31 -       //   left-shift the result such that the sign bit
  i++ % 6,      //   is replaced with the bit at position (i mod 6)
  i = 0         //   start with i = 0
)               // end of sort()

This uses factorial number system to encode the permutation. A shorter solution would be to index into the list of all permutations of the input but that wouldn't complete before the heat death of the universe.

This code starts with a big integer encoding the permutation on the stack:

   n›                  #   increment
