Trying to create a program with nested while loops

Question

Summary of code (or what it should do): User receives a question, user has to input a valid participant number between 5-20. Then, questions should be repeated based off the number of this input (if 5 participants, then repeat name and country questions 5 times). If the name is longer than 10 characters, or the country isn't Italy, then a warning message should appear to ask the user to repeat the question correctly. After the applicant has input the correct information, both name and country inputs should be sent to an external file. This should repeat for each applicant.

I've tried to implement a loop for the name and country values, but they seem to either loop infinitely, or when one of the values is incorrect, the loop keeps on going. I think this has something to do with the incrementation, but I'm not exactly sure what to do.

Any tips would be appreciated.

#!/bin/sh

i=0

read -p "Welcome to the lottery program. Please enter a number of participants between 5-20." input

while [ $input -lt 5 ] || [ $input -gt 20 ]
do
    read -rp "Number of people must be 5-20" input
done

while [ $i -lt $input ]
do
    read -p "Enter name(max 10 characters)" name
    read -p "Enter country(only for people outside of Italy)" country

while [ ${#name} -gt 10 ]
do
read -p "The name was too long (over 10 chars). Please re-enter: " name
done

while [ "$country" = "Italy" ]
do
read -p "Italy is not included within the program. Please try again" country
done

while [ ${#name} -le 10 ] && [ "$country" != "Italy" ]
do
echo $name $country >>echo.txt
i=$((i+1))



done
done

echo "The records have been saved $input times"

Edited from your last weeks's post. I believe what happen was when u transfer from your linux script, maybe you messed up some spacing. imma type the whole thing out, hope you can learn ! feel free to ask me questions if needed. And reminder again , please write what error you are facing , like the exact error code from the terminal!

#!/bin/sh
 
i=0
        
echo -e "Please enter a number of participants between 5-20 :\c"
read input
        
while [ $input -lt 5 ] || [ $input -gt 20 ]
do
read -rp "Number of people must be 5-20" input
done
        
while [ $i -lt $input ]
do
read -p "Enter name(max 10 characters) :" name
read -p "Enter country(only for people outside of Italy) :" country
        
if [ ${#name} -le 10 ] && [ "$country" != "italy" ]
then
i=$((i+1))
echo $name $country >> echoed.txt
elif [ ${#name} -gt 10 ]
then
read -rp "your name is too long! re-enter!"
else 
echo "Italy isnt accpeted"
fi
done
echo "All $input records are saved!"
