    You are going to need an auto-number column with no special formatting. Then you can use:

    =IF(MOD(COUNTIFS([Country 2]:[Country 2], @cell = [Country 2]@row, Auto:Auto, @cell <= Auto@row), COUNTIFS(Country:Country, @cell = [Country 2]@row)) = 0, COUNTIFS(Country:Country, @cell = [Country 2]@row), MOD(COUNTIFS([Country 2]:[Country 2], @cell = [Country 2]@row, Auto:Auto, @cell <= Auto@row), COUNTIFS(Country:Country, @cell = [Country 2]@row)))
