The Miss World pageant is typically held in December and is broadcast to over 150 countries worldwide. The event has faced criticism in the past for objectifying women and promoting traditional beauty standards. In response, the organizers of the pageant have made efforts in recent years to evolve the competition and focus on promoting charitable work and empowering women.

It's worth noting that this list only includes countries that have won the Miss World pageant since its inception in 1951. There may have been other countries that have won the pageant in previous years, but I do not have that information as my knowledge is limited to the timeframe specified in my previous response.
some countries that have a relatively long history of participation in the Miss World pageant but have not yet won include:
- Canada
- Japan
- South Korea
- Indonesia
- Malaysia
- Thailand
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Philippines
- Vietnam
- Brazil
- Colombia
- Peru
- Chile
- Costa Rica
- Mexico
- Puerto Rico
- Dominican Republic
- Cuba
- Jamaica
- Trinidad and Tobago
- Haiti
- Barbados
- Guyana
This list is not exhaustive and there may be other countries that have also not yet won the Miss World pageant. It's worth noting that winning the pageant is dependent on a variety of factors, including the quality of the contestants and their performance in the competition. Just because a country has not yet won the Miss World pageant does not necessarily mean that they do not have talented and deserving contestants.
