Why can you see more stars in the country than the city?

Because usually in the country, there is less "light pollution" in the form of street lights, house lights, etc. When it's darker in your immediate surroundings, the sky is easier to see. Plus, there is usually less air pollution as well. This is why most astronomical observatories using light-collecting telescopes are found far out in the country, and/or on top of mountains - clear air, less light, etc etc.
