All the Spanish speaking countries have voted in favour, with the exception of Paraguay and the abstention of Uruguay, Nicaragua and Panama." In addition, as said earlier, they still ALL consider N TILDE a distinct letter of the alphabet which makes them a unique case anyway (which is neutral to me and goes in favour of mandatory adaptability of any international default template).
