in Austria (Funkfeuer.at) we are slowly expanding to a nationwide mesh
network. There are tests underway to create a cross country
(Slovenia-Austria, Slovenia-Croatia) connection. The Ham people already
have something like this running - for emergency cases:

are working links, green under construction and blue planned ones)
So - to be precise - for a country wide backbone network with Wi-Fi -
yes, this is totally doable. But as Alexander already wrote, not with
self made antennas (they are just simply cheaper to buy and more stable
and they have a better quality than FabFi style antennas). Other issues
might be more important. For example: stable electricity.
In case you need further information on how we plan links and how we can
create a country wide network, feel free to contact me.
Thanks Aaron and Alexander and all for your valuable input :)
Cheers, Chris.
