Hi, Sometimes the two words are interchanged. However, generally speaking, 'country' focuses a bit more on the land and 'nation' focuses a bit more on the people who live there. Best wishes, Clive

I see the distinction slightly differently: country = folks at home on the land; nation = political essence.
