A Country is a Geographical Territory with specified boundaries containing its own government, language, and culture. With my ASL Dictionary listing the hand signs for several countries, it stood to reason to include the sign for Country and Nation. As the World’s first countries began in the Mother Continent of Africa (my apologies for my dictionary listing it as a country), a young African Ambassador dressed in purple shows the ASL hand sign for COUNTRY (with an ASL shield appearing later).
Palm in, the Y hand moves in a circle on the opposite arm, like polishing the shield on the forearm.
