Sweden does have VMS users left. And so does the UK.

I believe VMS is mostly gone from Denmark. Despite once
being very widely used .

Back in the 80's and early 90's VMS was used by several
big manufacturing companies, 2 out of 3 telcos, 1 oil company,
1 mid size bank, several parts of the government, lots
of educational institutions (out of 9 big higher education
institutions, then 3 were VMS shops, 3 used VMS some places
and only 3 did not use VMS).
