Greetings,

For the most part, the Thervadans are considered the "Southern schools" with the Mahayana Buddhists are the "Northern schools." Countries that mainly practice Mahayana include some parts of India, Tibet, Bhutan, and some parts of Nepal. Zen Buddhism is a form of Mahayana, so some parts of China, Korea, and Japan also practice forms of Mahayana Buddhism.

For the most parts, countries in the south such as Burma, Thailand, etc., practice Theravada Buddhism.

I hope this helped. Take care.
