 //country

selects elements with local name country and no namespace uri, you want
to select elements with name country and namespace uri
http://t3.org/test
so stick

xmlns:t="http://t3.org/test";

on your xsl:stylesheet (or your Xpath API if you are not using xslt)
then use

//t:country

Your subject line asks about xpath widcards but that refers to * which
you don't seem to be using.

unrelated but in

xsi:schemaLocation="http://t3.org/test
c:\test\my.xsd">

schemaLocation should take pairs of URIs and c:\test\my.xsd isn't a URI
it is an MSDOS path, should be

file:///c:/test/my.xsd

some schema validators will silently correct that error, others will
not.
