For you, probably only commonwealth countries.
Every country requires work authorization to engage in productive work.
Legally.
In reality, especially if you aren't working for a company in that country, enforcement is not only difficult, but just not really high on the concerns.
The spirit of this part of immigration law is to protect the domestic work force (and collect taxes as a secondary). So if you aren't actually competing with the local work force for local jobs, you're not really a primary concern. It is still against the LETTER of the law though. So do at your own risk.
You're unlikely to get seriously punished in most countries even if caught, but it can impact future ability to get visas to that country and other stricter countries. Like you'll have a hard time getting legal access to the US again for a while after you violate immigration law once.
