There's a big difference between wiping out a small country (i.e. Japan) and wiping out a larger country (i.e. Australia) in terms of destructive capacity.
Hence separate Small Country (Japan) vs Country (Australia) attack potency levels.
I know these aren't our benchmarks, but I was just giving an example.

Most the time, country busting in fiction isn't actually country busting, its wiping out numerous cities or even just mass-slaughter. As such, most the time, the landmasses aren't usually shattered or broken, but the country is left in ruins.
However, the explosion formula can be used in most of these instances. Lets use Switzerland for an example since its a decently small country.
Switzerland is roughly 328 kilometers, which gives us a diameter of 164 kilometers
R = Y^(1/3)*0.28. R = Radius in kilometers.
Y = Yield in Kilotons of TNT.
164 = Y^(1/3)*0.28
Y = 200,935,860.058309 Kilotons, or 200 Gigatons. Which is only Large Island level
Using your example of 1000 km.
500 = Y^(1/3)*0.28
Y = 5,694,241,982.507287 Kilotons, or 5.6 Teratons. Small Country level+
