An apostrophe after a country?

Hi!I'm new here, it's very nice to meet everybody!

I've confused about these two sentences below, I don't know which one is correct or how to sound it more natural.

1. The seasons in New York are very easy to be distinguished.

2. New York's seasons are very easy to be distinguished.

ps: I know we can place an apostrophe after time, person or organization, but what about after country?

I've seen an native English speaker says" nation's wealthy".I'm so confused here, please help me out!

Thanks!
