The downside of such an approach as I suggested, of course, would be that the wiki itself inevitably gets a bit more complicated. Maybe this could be putting off more casual contributors - even more than having to edit in MediaWiki code like it is currently necessary. Did you maybe think of adding an easier ("WYSIWYG") editor?.

PS: The MediaWiki version you run looks quite old (2015), worst case there could be some security flaws that could allow hackers/vandals to interfere with your page, or even the rest of your server in case you rn different things together in one shared account.

So I played around a bit with an template that can do this transclusion without having to install an extension. The result is here:
* [[User:CasualTaiwan/Taiwan]]
* [[User:CasualTaiwan/Taipei]]
 
It kiiiiinda works, but is neither pretty nor intuitive. I'm not sure the extension "labeled section transclusion" would make it perfect, but at least quite a bit easier I would hope.
 
Anyway, I guess before suggesting something like this, it might be worth looking at completely different options. What I can think of:
* As you mentioned, for Countries that have only one city created so far, simply redirect from one to the other
* If the reason for having separate pages is to reduce information that doesn't fit the user's city: Having only a country article, where city specific info is linked on separate sub-pages (or is hidden and only revealed after clicking on a city name)
* Completely different structure (for example one page per country per topic?), which would lose the easy to read "all info on one page" aspect of the current wiki though
* Removing the country pages would not help, because multiple city pages would still need to have general info updates synced
