> The question I would have like Schmidt to answer is this: is Pakistan a country?

Given that there is no real agreed definition as to what exactly a country is, it's unlikely that Schmidt could answer that. Also your definitions about what a country is are strangely arbitrary and seem to have little to do with whether a country is a country or not.

But, but almost any definition of country, Pakistan is a country. It may have many problems, but it's absurd to suggest that it might not be.
