You don't state what you regard as a panel, but manifestly -xtset
country year- won't work because you have different stations within
countries. If panels are stations in countries you can proceed, but
seemingly not otherwise except with a different kind of analysis.

You write as if your problem is technical, meaning that we should be
able to tell you what the solutions are, but your main problem appears
rather to be conceptual, and we can't tell you what your ideas are
about the data generation process.
