countrywide
Spanning entire nation
Countrywide describes something that extends throughout or affects an entire country.
It functions as both adjective and adverb: a countrywide search for the missing child, the storm caused damage countrywide.
The term emphasizes geographic scope rather than political unity, distinguishing it from national, which often carries governmental connotations.
