I don't think that hiding out is a very viable option for the foreseeable future given how problematic portable Kandronas were shown to be in 30 and how they evidently weren't an option in 31.
I hadn't considered that some countries might welcome them to spite America. It seems petty but people can't always be counted on to behave rationally. And another incentive might be a trade. The country provides access to a Kandrona and allows them to infest willing hosts and in exchange they act as scientists for that country or give them extra technological information.
When I was initially conidering if other countries might accept Yeerks I was thinking of maybe some of those progressive accept-everyone countries. I can just see pro-Controllers accusing everyone who doesn't want to allow others to get infested of being racist and it's really hard to argue with that label.
