So, the name of the country has the same behaviour as 'he' or 'she' ? He's , she's , Britain's , America's is same has saying He has, she has, Britain has, America has etc
But if were to write about a specific attribute about each of them, the formats will be a bit different.
Britain's weather.
His Hair
America's Geography

It's not possessive.

There is more than one reason to use an apostrophe.
_____

One is to show a possessive: Britain's people. Britain's resources. Britain's royalty. Britain's coast line.
No letter or word is omitted in these expressions.
