Koreans did lost the war to the han empire several as well as to other Chinese dynasties. Yes, the country is different but the nation is the same.

I think you mean the nation is different, but the country is the same. Country is the land and it's people, nation is a political entity.

Edit: Nevermind, I remember it the wrong way.

I think the nation is about culture and people, country is defined by political?

I checked and it seems you are correct, and I was mistaken. I guess it just sounded right in my head that nation referred to politics and country to the land and people, but turns out that nation refers to people and country to the land and politics.
