Count the number of strings

I have 500 text files in a folder. The data of the text files are shown below.

Code:
USA     Germany   23-12  
USA     Germany   23-12 
USA     Germany   23-12 
France  Germany   15-12
France  Germany   15-12
France  Italy     25-50
China   China     30-32
China   China     30-32

I would like to count the unique numbers of each country in the first and second columns based on the numbers of third column. I need to
save the outputs into another folder as the file names of input.

your suggestions would be appreciated!

Desired output

Code:
USA       1
Germany   2
France    2
Italy     1
China     2

Total - 8

This utility provides functionality approximately equivalent to the Unix enscript(1) program. It prints plain text files using a single font. It currently handles tabs and formfeeds, but not backspaces. It will line-wrap when using fixed-pitch fonts. It will also do kern- ing and width adjustment. The default device (-sDEVICE=) and resolution (-r) are as follows: gslp epson 180 gsbj bj10e 180 gsdj deskjet 300 gsdj500 djet500 300 gslj laserjet 300 By default the current date is formatted as the center header.
