I was having this same issue. After reading tvanfosson's solution, I tried a simple solution not involving a mock framework.

Add a default ControllerContext to the controller as follows:

CountryController controller = new CountryController();
controller.ControllerContext = new ControllerContext();

This removed the error just fine for me while unit testing. I hope this may help someone else out.
