Absolutely.

Except it's not just the bad countries. The Republic is attracting soups even from other Top 10 countries such as America. And it's not just disadvantaged soups either. It's people with options, people who already have a good situation, and just see that one as even better. The latter is what makes the other countries start to squawk. They're not alarmed by losing what they see as riff-raff. They are alarmed when they start losing healers and high-profile superheroes hand over fist.
That's going to be relevant in fixing the hospital in Mercedes. A few very astute people will see it as a way to compete with the Maldives by creating a positive anchor in America. It's a good idea.
I imagine Italy's response will be to point out their very favorable track record of employing soups on the police force -- I think they probably have the most of anyone in that regard -- and reminding folks that hey, you don't have to be a strongman or a speedster to join, we can use other talents too.
*chuckle* Chief Kedzierski will probably have a conversation with Fiddlesticks that goes: "You're not planning to dump me and run off to a tropical island, are you?" "Uh, no ma'am. I am a prairie boy."
