There are several problems with this (though my Lout is getting quite
rusty, so take this with a grain of salt).

First, @Rowa inside @Country gets the formatting from the @Tbl
instance you @Open, not from the "target" table, and so that @Rawa is
effectively a no-op.

Second, your @FooGalley must use vertical concatenation (inside the
definition and in @MyTbl).

Third, if you fix the two above you will run into the requirement for
a galley to have single column mark - which ruins the table that
requires separate column marks to line up table columns.
