From which country does the meridian of greenwich get its name?

It does not get its name from a country, it gets it name from a place in London, England called "Greenwich" which was/is the sight of the great Navel observatory where the work on defining the meridian was undertaken. Of course continental drift means that the current position of the meridian is now slightly to the west of where it was marked in the ground originally (by about 100 m).
