Is there a comparable list for buying altcoin in the US, such as ETH? I know Coinbase allows you to make ETH purchases (I've bought some there), but I'd be interested in other means. I'm not trying to dodge taxes, it's just that Coinbase seems kind of creepy now given how much the government is probing them. (I don't suppose the alternatives are any better / less sketchy?)

Interesting guide, I like the country overview, but it's actually Switzerland not Swiss.
EDIT: Actually, after looking it up, this is interesting: In most languages except English, Switzerland is referred to by the adjective. That is, in Italian it's "Confederazione Svizzera," or just "Svizzera" for short, in French it's "Confédération suisse" or "Suisse"... huh!
A correction: Perhaps culturally Mexico belongs more to South America, but officially it is located in North America.
How to buy bitcoin anywhere in the world, as long as it's in one of the 31 countries on the list.

If you can send/receive International bank transfers then you should be good to go.
The only condition is that it requires that you already own a small amount of bitcoin used as security deposit..
The fact that Visa/MC allows Coinbase (and others) to make bitcoin purchases as a purchase and not a cash advance weighs heavily on the "bitcoin is not a currency" debate. I wholeheartedly agree. And no, bitcoin is not dead. It's just not a currency.
You think Visa and MC should decide what a currency is?
I think the more interesting guide would be how to buy Bitcoins anonymously.
Isn't Bitcoin dead already?
Adoption is still niche, there are technical issues to be taken care of and there are "existential" threats based on the uncertain legal implications but by and large both Bitcoin as "currency" and bitcoin as "p2p network" are doing ok as far as I'm concerned.
