Tatyana should use -vce(robust)- rather than -vce(cluster clustvar)-.  -xtpoisson, fe- with robust standard errors implements the formula presented in Wooldridge (1999).  The formula is a cluster-robust estimate of the VCE in which the id variable specifies the clusters. The id variable is determined by the current settings of -xtset- which in Tatyana's case is a country variable.
