I live on an acre in Montana, but I don't consider myself to be in "the country" even though there are horses in our neighbor's yard. The nearest store is about a mile and a half a way, walking distance. I just consider myself to live in a suburban neighborhood. The cut-off line is, if I lived in the country, I could pee in my front yard any time, day or night. Since I can't do that, I live in the suburbs. I have run across a difference in terminology, especially when dealing with people from the South. Being "a country boy" or "a country girl" seems to be something they all brag about, and it usually means anyone who doesn't have sidewalks in their neighborhood. The fact that you live on a badly-maintained road, and it takes an entire 10 minutes to drive to Wal-Mart, doesn't mean you are in the country. It just means you are a dumb racist, most of the time.
