  1. If two or more nations which disagree
  2. If two or more nations, which disagree
  3. If two or more nations disagree
  4. If two or more nations that disagree

Although the pronouns “which” and “that” can represent “two or more nations,” they are unnecessary to convey the intended meaning of the sentence. Setting aside “which” clarifies the sentence’s meaning.
