No you didn't, only "countries" was specified. The definition of "country" is more vague then "nation-state" which needs a bit of work itself. If non-humans have polities, whether tribes or city-states capable of carrying on their own foreign relations, it is hard to see how they don't have countries unless "country" excludes such.
