This can be done, but is unusual and rare:

***********
clear*

inp str1 Country	byte(Income Population)
A			5				5
B			3				3
N			3				3
end

set obs `=_N+1'


replace Country=Country[1]+"+"+Country[2] in l
replace Income=Income[1]+Income[2] in l
replace Population=Population[1]+Population[2] in l

list, noo
***********

Subject: st: Creating new observations

Hi!
I am new to Stata and have the following problem. How do I create new  
observations if I have panel data, for example

Country		Income			Population
A			5				5
B			3				3
...			...				...
...			...				...
...			...				...
...			...				...
N			3				3


and want to add observations that are grouped values for certain  
countries, for example

Country		Income			Population
A			5				5
B			3				3
...			...				...
...			...				...
...			...				...
...			...				...
N			3				3
A+B			8				8



Thanks a lot!

Ida
