So far I haven’t received more than 2 cards from any country I haven’t also sent to. The ones I’ve received two from are Bulgaria , Greece and Kazakhstan .
I have sent 6 to South Africa but never received one!
The only other multiple there is 2 sent to Luxembourg without receiving one.

received but never sent (yet )
Fiji (a surprise one - 4 digit ID), Greece, India, Indonesia, Italy, Singapore, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Thailand
I have eight countries ‘sent-only’ and nine countries ‘received-only’. Two of the received were sent via travel-mode, so probably won’t have them at all without that mode.
No big differences (2 x 3:0, including a country where I sent a card to that never got registered), but I had ‘0 sent - 7 received’ to a country at one moment some months ago.
Btw: how do we call that phenomenon in our postcrossing lingo? Singles? Oneways? Uniques? I am open for my suggestions, as I use it in my profile.
That’s what happens if you select repeated countries and send 2/3 of all of your official postcrossing postcards to Russia and Germany, then you don’t send a single card to Taiwan
Also, Taiwan has become more and more active. They weren’t quite as big when I started postcrossing, if I remember correctly. And I was most active on the official site when I started two years ago. Now, I am too addicted to the forum and don’t have capacities to write official cards on top of that
