As we all know, Australian citizens and permanent residents, including dual citizens, have been banned from leaving without an exemption - which many have struggled or failed to get - since 25 March 2020. (This no longer applies for travel to New Zealand, but does still for every other country.)
I was wondering, which other countries actually prevent their own citizens from leaving the country? I'm not aware of any other western democracies where this is currently the case. But I'm guessing there must be some others - North Korea comes to mind, for example.
Is there a complete list of countries somewhere? I've tried to find one online but so far haven't been successful.
