You can also use Mutterland (Motherland) but I personally prefer Heimat which has no direct translation in English but it's pretty similar to homecountry

Jean Lannes, it is associated with them because Brazilian volunteers who went to fight in the Paraguayan War were called Fatherland Volunteers, and Pedro II himself was the first one. So that's why.
