I think -tabstat- may do what you want.  Perhaps something like this:

tabstat var1 var2 var3 var4 ... varn, stats(n mean sd min max) by(country) 
col(stat) longstub

You can also check out the recently expanded -tabout- available through SSC. 
I haven't used it much yet for summary stats, but I think it may prove 
useful to you if you want output written to a file for exporting.
