what's the difference?

Hi!I would like to ask a question about the difference between "the people of the country and the people in the country". Or is there no such usage? If there is, could you pls give me the examples?
thank you very much!

The people of the country means those who are native to the country. The people in the country is a more general term that would cover anyone living in a particular country whether or not they have that nationality. Iker Casillas would be a person of Spain.
