"호수와 강의 나라"

Translation: The country of lakes and rivers

[CF00l]

湖水와 江의 나라

[-kcdhari-]

Why is the particle 의 used with 강 if the possession is not on the word "river"?

[mark76865]

i thought it was 'the country lakes and rivers'
where do you get the 'of ' from?

[hsv017]

Is this just a random sentence, or is it a reference to a specific country?

[ThomasWelc4]

Why are there two different Duolingo answers (1) "The lakes and rivers country" and (2) "The country of lakes and rivers"? Evidently, my answer "This is lake and river country" connotes a meaning different from Duolingo ,but I don't see it. Can anyone explain?.

[Lechuza-chouette]

This is a noun phrase. There is no "is".
