It compiles for me on Dev-C++.

Also, it looks like the only file you need to include is <iostream> and you don't need the other three, unless if you plan on using them later. That could possibly get ride of the <sstream> error.

And did you know you have no way of exiting the program? The expression "country_n > 0 || country_n <= 4" is always true, because any number is always greater than 0 or less than 4, therefore the do-while loop is infinite.

Thanks for the info.

I had a problem with my Dev-C++ program and had to reinstall. I was able to run the program with no problem and thanks for the heads up on the exiting situation, I will look into it.
