This test makes very little sense in isolation. Country is expected to be empty if material comes from the high seas, or from those portions of Antartica outside of any sovereign nation. It needs to include higherGeography, continent, and waterBody at the least as information elements consulted to determine if they contain values indicative of a requirement for country to contain a value.

See discussion under #221. There are several of these - we either include them as simple NOTEMPTY tests or not at all.

@chicoreus is what you mentioned perhaps covered by #95 and the amendment test should be this #118 ?
