There is always the possibility of unusual suspects with nations than act in fenspace.
As an example, here are my very vague concepts for Peru, which were probably never going to go beyond background noise:
Seeing the good results with hiring indonesian farm workes in Jupiter, Marduk ciy did the same for his fields and hired developing nations workers -but being a city built by a spaniard, they chose spanish speakers: Peruan (mostly natives), to be exact. Those farmers got much needed money, and experieence in space. Oscar Vykos may or may not have gotten contacts (and/or blackmail material) with peruan politicians.
Then came a second develpement, and a couple enterprising earthlings with family in Marduk began a weekly farmers market -they woulf fly from their farms in earth to the moon, and then go back home. The peruans at Nuevo Cuzco -most of then coming from farming families- saw this, and proved than fendanes are also able to have blue hair days; first a few, then docens and hundreds of peruan Mardukans sent back home care packages with several specific (and possbily illegal in earth) handwavium strains.
A few months later, the weekly Marduk marker was a huge affair, Peru had the biggest spaceport in south america (built by Genesis for unspecified rewards) near Cuzco, with hundreds of improvised spaceships (which most fen, being European and Japanese and American, woud swear should not be able to drive, much less fly interplanetary distances); the nation is starting to have its own hanwavium industry, and, as the logical result for mixing a population with poor literacy and dangerous materials, peruan quechuas have the highest percentage of biomods of any group still in earth.
There are other nations in the wiki with those chances: Indonesia, of course, which inspired me for Peru; there is also Ireland and Kazastan. Any minor nation which gets one flashy fen (or fen group) may be carried away by a surge of national pride, which would inspire more younger fen to follow the celebrity path. That is even more true if the nation is poor or often overshadowed by bigger neighbors.
That opens the path to the occasional exotic habitat; 133 Cyrene may be one minor Belter habitat among many in Fenpace, but the small mining city of Qar?aj is a big deal in Tunisia, the place where most of its citizens are from.
