you loop on countries in in.hasnextline()

you should introduce counter variable , insert break; after limit reached, or change loop condition.

additionally check column want return. seems return number thrid column (which [2]), if want use country name need [1] 2nd column (array index 0-based).

as third, do countries? set text, each loop iteration, overwrite former countries text (countries same variable, in each iteration)
