Wikipedia doesn't require things be at the country level. For example, it has Esperanto: https://eo.wikipedia.org

Even though I emphasized the two different things Wikipedia and Wikimedia earlier in this discussion, you are conflating them. Wikipedia is an electronic encyclopaedia, divided up into languages. Wikimedia is the name of the Wikimedia Foundation, and (as long as they adhere to various conditions) the names of various Wikimedia chapters, like Wikimedia Taiwan, and Wikimedia thematic organizations.

Wikimedia is the name of the movement, separate from corporate entities that also share that name.
