Definition is a matter of perception?
What defines a curtain as "country" really is a matter of perception. Generally, you define this concept as those curtains that have earthly tones and outdoors colors, patterns with outdoor scenes such as florals and leaves, or even lodge and ranch type patterns.
One of the easiest ways to decorate your windows is to select a sheer or light colored panel and then top it off with a country-style decorative valance.

This is also the least expensive method and absolutely THE way to go for smaller kitchen and bathroom window coverings.
Have a look at a few valances to spark some ideas, such as the Waverly Orchard Trail Valance, Waverly Mistral Valance, and the Waverly Pastoral Plaid Valance. You'll definitely see how these designs and color schemes add to a country theme.
If floral designs are more your style, check out the Floral Print Richloom,Wentworth Floral (available in several different color schemes), and Verona Floral valances.
Panels
For areas of your home where curtain panels are more suitable, there is certainly no shortage of choices in country styles and colors. Elegant Yorkville chenille panels and coordinating valances add richness to any room.
A soft flowing voile panel such as the Cascade Embroidered panel offer a dramatic touch of softly colored, airbrushed flowers outlined with embroidery. For another floral that results in everyday elegance, you should try the Casual Shimmer Floral panel.
For a textured appearance with a soft feel, choose Jacquard-Woven Chenille curtains. For a specific country look, a great example is the Fossil design - fossilized leaf pattern adds distinction and enhances the texture. Add in a coordinating throw and pillows to complete the look.
Intricately woven jacquard panels are very stylish and decorative. For a sheer look, get Bess Jacquard Lace Panels which have pastel colors gently airbrushed onto selected blooms and bows for a delicate, handcrafted effect.
Using Charlotte Lined Jabots and Crescents is an easy way to add an elegant, traditional, decorator look to virtually any room. The muted earth tones are beautiful. These gorgeous curtains look very expensive but are very affordable.
