In Land of Hope and Glory, Britain is said to be "Mother" of the free and a wish is expressed that God will make "Her" mightier yet, so 'motherland' would seem to be the choice.

As usual there is something interesting to read in Wikipedia:

I've always felt that Fatherland depicts male qualities like strong, warlike, ready to defend itself, while Motherland puts emphasis on a place where you feel at home, comfortable and safe.
Maybe it tells you something about that particular nation.

A very subjective view, I admit.
