    Unless the db server you are using requires id field, I would not use it. Instead, use another field that has a unique value for the primary key to speed up searches and joines.

    
    IF NOT EXIST(select * from country where code = "USA")
    BEGIN
       INSERT code
       values("United States of America","USA")
    END
    
    Code (markup):

    what you have looks ok to me, just delete the id columns and use one of the other fields for primary key if you can.
