This is the problem. Actually I was seraching a logical reasoning of not considering the first "its" referring to country. Can we say that as "its" coming after "and", so we can say with surity that the ancedent is restuarant not the country?? Similarly can we say that had there been no "and" between "country" & "its", then could have said that "its" referring to the "country".
I just want such kind of logic.
