The park does have the land to add 4-6 countries, depending on size, so who's to say that we won't eventually get more countries.
Um, you realize that would be doubling the park, right? I don't think there's enough land for 4-6 more countries. Maybe two.
However, I think that at the time period that the park is set in, Western Europe and Eastern Europe were just completely different. Western Russia tried to emulate Eastern Europe, so that might be pulled off, but the rest just doesn't fit the theme of the park. The park was started with "The Olde Country" as its theme, which was Eastern Europe, and when the park has expanded and themed with this in my mind, it has been their best work. I think a Scandinavian Viking land could work because of their immense mythology, but many Western European cultures would clash with the integrated vibe the park has produced, something not present at BGT. Sure, those African countries are very different, but the feel at BGW is specifically Eastern European.
