One way to count these differences is using
Seven-segment displaythe font:
Using this to count the
Number of lit-up segments: $N = 5, A = 6, L = 3, E = 5, I = 2, R = 6, C = 4$
a) China has three more than Chile: $N + A = 11, L + E = 8$
b) Algeria has two more than Nigeria: $A + L = 9, N + I = 7$
c) Ireland has two more than Iceland: $R = 6, C = 4$

@JonMarkPerry That's not any kind of X-segment display. It's clearly a font designed to look like one, but no segmented display I've ever seen would have the split top line (as seen in the 'M') and a solid top line for all the other letters, since the segments cannot overlap. The shortened middle line in the 'G', the diagonals in the 'K' and 'R', and the cross-piece on the 'Q' are also all incorrect for the same reason.

We have
$$CHINA=CHILE+3implies NA=LE+3$$
$$ALGERIA=NIGERIA+2implies AL=NI+2$$
Putting these together gives
$$A+A=E+I+5$$
meaning that $E+I$ is odd. This gives the idea of letting one vertical or horizontal stroke count for $1$, and $2$ for a slanted stroke, then $N=1+2+1$, $I=1$, $A=2+2+1$, and all equations are satisfied.
Now
ICELAND vs IRELAND means that we need to compare C and R. Now R is basically an inverted C, plus one vertical and one horizontal stroke.
Therefore
Ireland has three more than Iceland. (Yay! Shamrocks always win!)

Answering the "Or other way round?" part, referring to the answer from @Tom
R is not a seven-segment letter but r is, so Ireland is two less not two more than Iceland.
