Your source document has both 'country' and 'member' in the 
'http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/' namespace. 

I dearly hope the choice of namespace URI is arbitrary and
that you aren't really trying to parse HTML.

You're asking for elements named 'member' in no namespace,
that are children of elements named 'country' in no namespace.

What you want is:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
  xmlns:html="xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/";>
>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <body>
        <xsl:value-of select="html:country/html:member" />

and so on.
