Edward,

note that "05" , as in your example "Germany05", is unlikely to be
hold in a numeric variable, since leading zeros are not stored.

Assuming that variable "year" has four digits you might want to change
Nick's third suggestion to read

. g ctryear = country + substr(string(year), 3, .)

Best
Daniel
