### get_country

Search for countries by name using fuzzy matching against the REST Countries database. Returns matching countries with their capital city, population, geographic region, currencies, and languages. The search matches common names, official names, and country codes. Uses the publicly available demo key which returns sample data (Canada) for all queries; a paid API key enables full search functionality.
