(I'm cheating a little by grouping on both `continent` and `country`. Given `country`, `continent` is fixed, so this doesn't add any more groups, but it's an easy way to carry an extra variable along for the ride.)
This creates an data frame that has one row per group (per country), and a rather unusual column: `data`. `data` is a list of data frames (or tibbles, to be precise). This seems like a crazy idea: we have a data frame with a column that is a list of other data frames! I'll explain shortly why I think this is a good idea.

The `data` column is a little tricky to look at because it's a moderately complicated list, and we're still working on good tools to explore these objects. Unfortunately using `str()` is not recommended as it will often produce very long output. But if you pluck out a single element from the `data` column you'll see that it contains all the data for that country (in this case, Afghanistan).
