'Country' in the Bible

Then they said to him, Now make clear to us what is your work, and where you come from? what is your country, and who are your people?

And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my country? This is why I took care to go in flight to Tarshish: for I was certain that you were a loving God, full of pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, and ready to be turned from your purpose of evil.
