s or es means plural, countries = more than one country
____ 's can be short for ____ is (it's going to rain tonight = it is going to rain tonight, this country's going to heck = this country is going to heck)
or
____'s can be possessive, of or belonging to ___ (this country's citizens = citizens of this country)
its = or of belonging to it so as not to confuse with it's = it is (my book fell off its shelf), more like his or hers or ours or yours
