what's the difference?

1) All the country was against it.
2) All the countries were against it.

Is 2) right?

Are there any differences of the meaning between 1) and 2)?

Thanks!

1) All the country was against it. 2) All the countries were against it. Both are correct, and there is certainly a difference in meaning -- a big difference.
