Hey, it's US and Liberia! *And* Myanmar. That's _three_ countries.
USA! USA! USA!

More seriously, there does seem to be a lot of places that use lbs
when it comes to diving outside of the US. It wasn't entirely clear in
Australia, for example. I think they end up having some of the weights
in lbs (although maybe they were "metric pounds" at 500g). And Okinawa
was lbs, although that may be due to the US guy. And Palau (ok,
"associated state" with the US). And I'm pretty sure Fiji weights were
lbs too..
