Homeland

A homeland is the concept of the territory to which one belongs; usually, the country in which a particular nationality was born. When used as a proper noun, the word (and its cognates in other languages; e.g., Heimatland in German) has ethnic nationalist connotations. As a common noun, it simply connotes the country of one's origin.
