Cosmos Flair eliminates Marchesa before she can do anything, and then you get to keep a card due to her being 3 colors.
Knight of Holy Sin immediately has protection from white, therefore, any amount of power Gideon's Avengers has doesn't matter. And he does a nice 6 damage to the face.
Perplexing crab counters almost all of the defending cards, but I made him for Ajani's Pridemate. He is a 2/3, so in direct combat he will kill Pridemate. And if you gain life to try and buff him, he will get -1/-1 counters instead.
Now, with all of these creatures dying, Deathbringer Thoctar will be a threat. Seraph of Purity wipes all counters off the board, setting back Thoctar to a 3/3, which she can then kill as a 4/4.
This one may have been overkill, but it was fun. So it starts of by turning all of your lands into 3/3 Elementals with Haste. Two of them are untapped, so it's a guaranteed two Elementals.
-Now you can choose a creature to become an Elemental if you want, I just made that as an addition to the last ability which doesn't really matter in this situation.-
Now I can choose one of my Elementals to fight the defending Bane of Progress, which presumably has no counters on it, because it's ability couldn't have been triggered due to the lack of Enchantments and Artifacts. Now it's a 2/2, and my land Elemental can take it out by forcing a fight.
Cosmos Flair mostly. But Perplexing crab and Seraph of Purity are off color to a degree. But keep in mind those effects aren't too common so they were mainly towards the color black.
Although adding +1/+1 colors would fit into blue. White varies wildly on how it's implemented and can be more based on personal opinion.
One quick question: my attackers are now my defenders, so my Cosmos Flare is one of my defenders. How would you counter an instant/sorcery without a straight-up counterspell? Would you have to make a creative counter spell or something that negates the effect?

That creature can only kill one of the creatures regardless of how it's blocked and targets. So yes, you need another card.

Ocknap enters as a copy of Soulclench, killing another creature. It flickers into Soulclench every turn, just in case another one came down.

Okay the attack was successful. But for future cards try to make them match the color identity and so forth.
Yes, there are. You may have Bulgaria, which requires 3 defenders.
The attack is successful. The Netherlands are yours.
Do you mean I have to match their defending cards colors?
And my attacking cards are now the defenders of Ukraine right?
Okay thanks

And I see your point with Cosmos Flair, the straight up "destroy" isn't really red/blue.
Edit: Nevermind, I'll be editing the list again soon anyways.
@Everyone
Updated the country list on the following comment. (I don't have editing privileges for the other versions though!)

One quick question:

It's automatically defeated as it isn't a creature, but the effect still happens.
True, but wouldn't you still have to make a card to interact with it if someone attacks Ukraine with my defending Cosmos Flair.
They'd still have to make five cards, but the fifth wouldn't need to worry about defeating it.
No problem with the comments, I just enjoy helping manage the challenge.
Okay good, I didn't want to be super annoying.
