You can treat country as the primary sampling unit in your -svyset-
command, even though it actually includes many primary sampling units,
assuming you have many countries in your sample.  This allows for
arbitrary intracountry correlation of errors, and the lower-level
(school) PSU clustering is essentially subsumed (i.e. the change to
estimated SEs from specifying two levels of clustering in -svyset-
will be small, and the justification more problematic).
