India (there is no other country named Australia; this name is assigned to only one country).
Common Noun:
A Common Noun is the name of something that is common to many things, persons, or places. It includes a particular kind of things, person, or place.
Example: country (it can refer to any country, nothing in particular), city (it can refer to any city like Melbourne, Mumbai, Toronto etc but nothing in particular).
Abstract Noun:
An Abstract Noun is a word for something that cannot be seen but is there. It has no physical existence. Generally, it refers to thoughts, qualities, and situations.
Examples: Truth, Lies, Happiness, Sadness, Time, Friendship, Humor, Patriotism, etc.
Concrete Noun:
A Concrete Noun is the exact opposite of an abstract noun. It refers to things that we see and have a physical existence.
Example: chair, table, bat, ball, water, money, sugar etc.
Countable Noun:
Nouns that can be counted are called countable nouns. Countable nouns can take an article: a, an, the.
Example: chair, table, bat, ball, etc (you could say 1 chair, 2 chairs, 3 chairs - so chairs are countable)
Uncountable Noun:
Nouns which cannot be counted are called Uncountable Nouns.
Example: water, sugar, oil, salt, etc (you can't say "1 water, 2 water, 3 water" because water is not countable)
Abstract Nouns and Proper Nouns are always non-countable nouns, but common nouns and concrete nouns can be both count and non-count nouns.
