It's because "dans" is used whenever you have an article before a noun, and "en" is used when there isn't. "Il habite dans une maison." "Il habite en France." https://www.thoughtco.com/learn-essential-french-prepositions-4078684

In this case dans is used to mean inside. For countries you use en because inside doesn't make so much sense in that case.
