Answer 1

You have to put the country names between quotes:
country_list = ["australia", "australia", "uganda"]

Also, dictionaries do not have .add() method. Use .update() instead. Finally, you have to consider the case when there already is a country entry in the dictionary, before you print the country_counts.

To sum up, it should go like this:

country_list = ["australia", "australia" , "uganda"]
country_counts = {}
for country in country_list:
if country not in country_counts :
country_counts.update({country: 1})
else:
country_counts[country] += 1
print(country_counts)
