Okay, you've mentioned ESA, the Japanese, and now the Australians. Am I missing something here, or is it latent xenophobia?

The Australians haven't launched anything but a design group there working for ESA has improved the ion engine design. So far as I know the US and Europe are the only ones to launch an ion engined probe and the Japanese are working on it.
