That is a wrong assumption - there is no "between" for rows in a relational 
database. 

Why do you think you need that? 


A sequence is used to generate a unique number. The only job of that number is 
to be unique. 
You should never rely on PK values to be "gapless" nor should you rely on them 
defining any kind of ordering. 

If you need to sort your countries in a non-default way, add a specific 
sort_order column to your table which you can use when selecting from the table.
