More divided countries during the Cold War

Austria, if the Soviets don't leave in 1955. This would also mean the actual partition of the country and a wall being built, which I understand did not happen.
 
Greece perhaps, as a result of an alternative Greek Civil War could be divided into two, with either a monarchist Greece being Crete, the Ionian+Aegean Islands+Cyprus and mainland Greece up to the borders of 1912 or before the cession of Thesally; alternaively(and even worse for the democratic side), a capitalist Greece could just be the Islands plus Cyprus. Of course, getting Cyprus would mean significant influence of Britain over the state, otherwise they would probably not let it go.

As for other countries, maybe an alternate Winter War could mean a divided Finland, and Czechoslovakia could also be another possibility has the allies prioritized Prague instead of other places, with a capitalist Czechia and a socialist Slovakia.
 
Denmark, if the USSR forget to leave Bornholm.
Norway, if the USSR "liberates" the north.
Finland, if the USSR manage to detach a part of the country following the Winter War.

Maybe Iran, if Communists manage to take over part of the country, but can't take over the whole. Similarly in Afghanistan.
