Google just introduced merchant accounts in 12 more countries, allowing developers in those nations to sell paid apps in the Play Store, reports Android Police.

Here are the dozen new countries that can ship paid apps, or include in-app purchases as of today:

• Bahrain
• Bolivia
• Bulgaria
• Cyprus
• Dominican Republic
• Estonia
• Honduras
• Jamaica
• Latvia
• Lithuania
