The key question is: What to you defines a panel, bearing in mind that
Stata's definition of panel allows at most one observation for each
combination of panel identifier and time?
My guess from this is that your panels are perhaps the distinct
combinations of -country- and -title-, in which case Stata might be
satisfied by
egen id = group(country title)
tsset id week
but only you can say whether that matches the data generating process
you have in mind.

I have a question about tsfill. My data look like this:
week rev title country
1 992 A P
2 182 A P
4 221 A P
1 258 A Q
2 278 A Q
3 293 A Q
5 336 A Q
7 342 A Q
I tried "tsset title week" to use tsfill, but Stata says "repeated time
values within panel". "tsset country week" gives the same error message
because week is repeated within a country, too. I want to fill missing
weeks
like the following. Is there any way to do this?
week rev title country
1 992 A P
2 182 A P
3 221 A P
4 221 A P
1 258 A Q
2 278 A Q
3 293 A Q
4 336 A Q
5 336 A Q
6 342 A Q
7 342 A Q
