As it happens I've been calculating per capita emissions for 28 years, since COP2. You can see my model here.
No I certainly don't include Russia nor Turkey, although europe is more than EU. Korea is indeed notable. Regarding what they call 'consumption emissions', you can get such data from Global Carbon Project, on that I'm less an expert but my hunch is that industry emissions are dominated by heavy products like steel and cement for construction (made with help of gigatons of coal), rather than light consumer goods for export. Over-construction is the root of the problem, global emissions will peak (maybe now) as that bubble bursts.
