Country mile

a great distance. The batter knocked that ball a country mile. I had to walk a country mile to the next gas station.

Happy is the country which has no history.

The history of our country is so full of greed, violence, and dishonesty; happy is the country which has no history.

So many countries, so many customs.

Prov. People in different countries have different ways of behaving. In the last place I visited, it was considered rude to put your hands on the table at dinner, but here, it's rude to keep them under the table. so many countries, so many customs.

Go to the country (British & Australian slightly formal)

if a government or the leader of a government goes to the country, they have an election. The Prime Minister has decided to go to the country next spring.
