How to use «Countries» in context?
Countries are locked in a struggle for power, resources, and land. For centuries, empires have expanded and contracted, carving up the Earth into ever-smaller pieces. Borders have been drawn, nations formed, and wars waged overclaimed land, vital resources, and coveted populations. Nations are complex and multi-layered entities, with diverse histories, cultures, and economies. They are made up of people who share a common language, culture, and aspirations. But each country is also unique, with its own character, personality, and ambitions.
