The UK and US are referred to as "She" we've got Mother Nature and the sea is female. Is here anything male?

El Salvador ( the el signifies its male as it would be la otherwise). Can’t think of any others off hand but I think it may be different in other languages that there is more of a mix of he and she but yes a lot more feminine countries

Germany is the fatherland.

I thought Germany was referred to as male?

@recrudescence Yorkshire is God's county, so is hereby excluded from this discussion in His/Her honour
