The most populous country that elects its Presidents by pure popular vote appears to be Indonesia, although there haven't ever been any particularly close elections there.

A national recount would be rough, but I think it's still preferable to simply ignoring the will of a lot of voters.

I'm not too worried about it and we have the Electoral College to ensure the popular vote is magnified in most cases.
Or not, as Clinton lost and leads Trump by 2.5 million...

Prior to 2016 it was common to claim that 2000 was a freak occurence and we can always count on the electoral college to follow the popular vote. Now that's obviously not the case.
