FWIW, according to wikipedia:

Russian: 4' 11 27/32" and 5' 0"
Irish: 5' 3"
Spanish: 5' 5 21/32"
Indian: 5' 6"

Victorian Railways, Australia, used to be Irish gauge. The freight lines and the line from Melbourne to Albury have been converted to standard gauge (4' 8 1/2") but the suburban passenger lines around Melbourne are still the broad gauge because they are "captive service".
