Are you sure it's not an empty string in the first stylesheet too? Just a quess, but you're trying to bind the $forcountry to a node-set of nodes with the name "GB" and and as your variable is a top-level element, the root element of your source tree should then be "GB". If you want to bind the $forcountry to a string "BG", use 

  <xsl:variable name="forcountry" select="'GB'"/>

Hopefully I didn't answer a wrong question again,

Jarno
