I realise that there is some name of countrys that have 국 in the end. What 국 means? And also why others countrys dont have 국 in the end?
For exemple: 미국, 학국, 영국, 중국.

Meaning of many Korean words are based on Chinese letter even though we have different shape of letters and pronunciation from Chinese. Each Chinese letter has own meaning for example 國 means country. As I mentioned, 國 is 국 in Korean meaning of a country. That is why you can find 국 letter at the end of
some of countries name however it is not a rule for every single country's name like 일본(Japan),스페인(Spain),홍콩(Hongkong) etc.
