Explanation

 We use 'that' when refernce is being made to something or somebody specific. Also, for 'which' to be right, it should have been preceded by a comma. 'The country has had' is the correct usage. Here 'has' is a helping verb to indicate present perfect tense; 'had' is a verb that means 'got'.
