home country
Where you're from
Home country is the nation where a person was born, raised, or holds citizenship—whichever feels most like the place they're from.
The term often appears when someone is living abroad: After ten years in London, she returned to her home country.
It can also distinguish origin in discussions of immigration or international business: The company's home country is Japan.
