It's a country-by-country crazy quilt. K0CKD used to publish a list 
of 160m allocations but the URL I have is no longer valid.

Outside NA the 160m band begins no lower than 1810 kHz. In many 
countries the band goes no higher than 1850 kHz. In some countries 
the whole band is 1830 to 1850 kHz; in JA it's  1815 to 1825 kHz (and 
1907.5 to 1912.5 kHz). Even within NA there are some countries that 
do not have the full band from 1800-2000 kHz.

Bill's right... there's no good answer.
