[Timo]

(you need help with your german genitive cases)

"A country of many peoples"
That can be easily made: "A country of many nations."
A nation need not have a government. The old word in english for a group of people with of common culture (etc.) was Folk. Though after the latinization of the language, the upper echelon of the classes used the word nation (latin based from French) to describe the groups of peoples. Thus Folk and Nation are both synonyms. Whereas Country and Nation have become clouded as almost synonymous in modern english, due to urban and globalization. Country is tied to the land and government, where as nation is tied to the people and culture. The Apaches of America were not a country but a nation.
