Motherland or Fatherland

[Gopferdammi]

Obviously Germany is the Fatherland

Except, as it has already been pointed out by SoWiBi, that Vaterland is merely a synonym for "country of origin/that of your ancestors/heimat/whatever" in German which doesn't actually define the gender/identity of the country itself. If I were to talk about my country of origin in German it would also be a Vaterland, in this case mine, despite the fact that Switzerland actually has a female pronoun in German:Die Schweiz and a female anthropomorphication: Helvetia.

[The Archregimancy]

And there is in art from the early days a personification of our country as a woman called Columbia.

Absolutely right - the female personification of the United States is Columbia. In the 19th-century, some even proposed that 'Columbian' become the adjective for someone from the United States, thereby by-passing that tiresome argument that sometimes gets rehashed in NSG over whether 'American' is an appropriate adjective for just one country.

She seems to have gone out of fashion in the early 20th century, but here she is on a WWI recruitment poster:

[United Russian State]

Both, has to which I call it depends on topic.

[West Failure]

Big picture of Columbia

Edit: Whoops - bigger image than I thought; sorry.

Columbia looks remarkably like a young Angela Lansbury.

Why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?

We don't have any, but that doesn't stop WW1 illustrators.

[Western Mercenary Unio]

Female, but we always refer to our country as 'isänmaa'. (In English, fatherland.)

But, there's no gender-specific pronouns in Finnish. There's just 'hän'.

[Aelosia]

"Venezuela es bella" (Venezuela is beautiful).

In spanish, our country is female. My other nationality/country is Spain, to which we refer in spanish as "La Madre Patria", so it is a perfect translation for "Motherland".

So, two female countries on my side.

[Call to power]

the British isles looks like a mecha to me and Ireland is the like a little man who pilots it (I'll dick about in paint later and draw what it looks like to me)

other than that its obviously Britannia what with the song about how cool we are

She seems to have gone out of fashion in the early 20th century

nonsense she just makes movies now

[Brutland and Norden]

Filipino/Tagalog has no gender specific pronouns, unlike many Indo-European languages; but if we are comparing stuff to parents we use "Mother" for the country: Inang Bayan, for instance. Another instance is Inang Kalikasan ("Mother Nature"). There are other instances where in "Mother" is used, especially in usages where the caring, nurturing stereotype of a mother needs to be invoked.
