Yep, I'm pretty sure standard English usage also favours "she" to describe a country, rather than "he".
But French which is the language of Orlais use both masculine and feminine descriptions for countries as shown in the map below.

It's male when there's an emperor, female when there's an empress. Problem solved.

Leliana also refers to Orlais as "her" after the final battle.

Not entirely related to Dragon Age, but David Gaider is in Sweden and is currently eating a reindeer.
That is all.
Am seeing coal in someone's future this next Christmas....

1500 dragons in 15 hours and change? I'm betting they can pull it off.

I suspect it was Bambi's mother - chargrilled.
(Edit: Yes - I know - but she was probably wearing a pair of antlers as a disguise.)

Sometimes I see Internet arguments and think, "What if I DID tear a hole in the Veil and bathe the world in fire? Would that be so wrong?"
I'm in so long as there's fire.
