Looking for cheap "exotic" VPSes

I'm building a Reticulum* network with public nodes, so I'm looking for very low cost VPS providers. $1-3 USD per month, payable per year. I know this is on the really low end, but luckily I also have low requirements.
Minimum requirements
1 vCPU
512 MB RAM
5 GB Disk
400 GB Monthly BW Transfer
Uplink dedicated 10MBit
Of course, anything better than this is.. better, especially uplink and bandwidth. But these are the bare minimums for me to even consider the VPS. The bandwidth can technically be lower as my tests from a one month period uses about 100GB, but I will only accept less bandwidth for really exotic locations on a case by case issue.
I have VPSes in: Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, US (NY), US (LA), Ecuador, Thailand. And am looking mainly for providers with data centers in Africa, Asia and Oceania. But others may be interesting depending on price.
Any recomendations or small providers that could fill these needs?
I have already checked offers from Low-End-Box and have purchased serveral of them.
*Reticulum is a decentralized cryptography-based networking stack designed for resilient, decentralized communication. It works over virtually any medium - LoRa radio, TCP/IP, I2P, serial links, etc. It is built for low bandwidth use, requiring as little as 2-3 Kbps to create connections. It is not useful to browse the regular internet, but it can serve small text based "web" pages inside the network. Common uses are LoRa based sensor networks, for small data transfers.

@HostDoc for Nigeria. Greencloud (whatever their handle, can never memorize it) for Asia and @onidel @oloke for Oceania but this is not cheap (somewhat stable, however). Alternatively, SMC for Oceania - https://store.soutarmc.com/index.php?rp=/login

Thank you @JohnFilch123 and @rpqu for the feedback.
I have now a VPS from soutarmc in Sydney for $15 per year which was even cheaper than the advertised $2.50 per month.
Also thanks to @bbmmsvr4u for the offer in Malaysia. I now have a VPS there too.
I had forgotten about @Zappie Zappie Host, have dealt with them before and they are great. Just a tad too expensive and low bandwidth for me to bounce on their offers, but I will consider them.
I can't find any website for @HostDoc but did find them on facebook. So I will check them out.
Thanks everyone!
Thank you!
