Sure, America is one country not without its problems and little quirks, but what country doesn't?

You're not helping here. Please change "doesn't" to "is", unless you did that on purpose and it's an old Bush quote, in which case: lol.
It can go either way. Having doesn't at the end of the sentence could mean, "...but what country doesn't have its problems and little quirks?"

You already had "not without" hence making doesn't a redundant entity in the sentence. The correct grammar would either be;
Sure, America is one country not without its problems and little quirks, but what country is?
Or
Sure, America as a country has its [problems & quirks], but what country doesn't?
Then I bow to a more distinguished user of the written form.
