Does this have the same twin meanings as in English, then? That is, does it also mean 'country' as in 'countryside'?

[EllisVaughan]

Yes it does and you can also say "cefn gwlad" for this.

[kdb119]

Ah, excellent! Thank you.

[DesertGlass]

So you're saying it means rural region as well as a nation?

[shwmae]

Yep.

[DesertGlass]

That seems quite colloquial

[shwmae]

As mentioned above, you can use cefn gwlad for countryside too if you want to be specific.
