Britain, France and Israel are female but what is America? Is it referred to as her or his?

It's common for nations to be referred to as feminine in gender, even the good ol' U.S. of A.

Thanks for that. I thought it would be the same as boats and such like. Cheers.

Yes. Not many nations are masculine - the only one I can think of offhand is Germany...
