It’s technically not countries participating, but broadcasters and they need to be independent of state control
So…same problem as the geography question then. How the fuck does Australia participate? As best I can tell, it’s broadcast here on SBS, a state-owned broadcaster.

The person you replied to said that the needed to be independent of state control, not that they couldn’t be state owned.
I don’t know about SBS but it is broadcast on BBC One in the UK which is also state owned but is not directly controlled by the state.
