No country can be called the first to be found. A country has boundaries.

When explorers went into new lands borders, as such, did not exist. Borders are defined and drawn by agreement, negotiation or conflict.

Initially these borders did not exist and people roamed where they wished or where they could survive.

With the rise of civilization boundaries began to be drawn between neighbouring states or kingdoms. Usually a geographic landmark such as a river or mountain range.

No one has ever actually 'discovered' a country because, invariably, there was someone else there already.

The possible exception is the continent of Antarctica.
